Volkswagen Timing Chain Settlement Notes

In re: Volkswagen Timing Chain Product Liability Litigation
Case No. 2:16-cv-02765
Pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey

This class action lawsuit against Volkswagen alleges the company sold certain Volkswagen and Audi cars despite knowing the vehicles had a timing change system defect.

“Defendants wrongfully and intentionally concealed a defect in the timing chain system of the Class Vehicles, which can fail at any time, forcing Plaintiffs and members of the Classes to incur out of pocket costs to repair or replace the damaged engine parts or their entire engine. At a minimum, repairs will exceed $1,000.00. In some cases, repairs can cost thousands of dollars,” the Volkswagen Audi timing chain defect lawsuit states.

According to the complaint, one plaintiff leased a 2009 VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition with a 2.0L TSI engine from a VW and Audi authorized dealer. However, unbeknownst to him, the vehicle contained the timing chain System defect, which caused catastrophic failure of the vehicle’s engine. As a result, he was forced to replace the camshaft, chain, chain tensioner, brackets, valves, and numerous other engine parts, incurring out of pocket expenses for these repairs, as well as not having the use of his vehicle for two weeks.

Similar incidences are echoed throughout the complaint by over 35 named plaintiffs.

Volkswagen continues to dispute all claims and maintains its vehicles are not defective, that no applicable warranties were breached nor applicable statutes violated, that the vehicles were properly designed, manufactured, distributed, marketed, advertised, warranted, and sold. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Volkswagen Timing Chain settlement website.
