Last verified July 13, 2026Source: claimdepotHow ClaimWatch verifies cases
What happened
FCA US sold 2017-2018 Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles equipped with rear power sliding doors that allegedly had defective lock actuators and latches that would fail and lose locking/unlocking capability. FCA US denies the defect exists and has not been found liable. The parties settled to avoid lengthy litigation.
Do you qualify?
Anyone who purchased or leased a 2017-2018 Dodge Grand Caravan built between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. Class Members who paid for repairs to the defective sliding door latch can submit a claim for reimbursement.
How to file
Submit a claim for reimbursement at https://www.fcarecallreimbursement.com if you paid for a qualifying repair to the sliding door latch defect. You must provide documentation of your repair expenses. Class Members can also take their vehicle to any authorized FCA US dealership to receive free repairs under the extended warranty without needing to file a claim.
Common questions
- How much does the Dodge Sliding Door Latch Settlement pay?
- Estimated payout: Reimbursement for parts and labor costs you paid for repairs to the failing sliding door lock actuator. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- Do I need proof of purchase for the Dodge Sliding Door Latch Settlement?
- Yes. This settlement asks for documentation supporting your claim — a receipt, an account record, or the notice you were sent. Check the official settlement website for exactly which documents are accepted.
- Is the Dodge Sliding Door Latch Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- Claims are filed at fcarecallreimbursement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- How long until I get paid from the Dodge Sliding Door Latch Settlement?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for September 16, 2025; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
- What happens if I do nothing?
- You receive no payment, and in most class actions you also give up the right to sue FCA US, LLC separately over these same claims. To keep that right you must opt out (exclude yourself) by August 14, 2025.
