Case Status
Keller Rohrback, serving on the court-appointed Plaintiffs' Steering Committee leading the litigation, is happy to announce that a settlement valued at over $80 million and covering approximately 500,000 Porsche vehicles has been granted final approval by Judge Breyer of the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Class members can review terms of the settlement and begin the process of filing a claim at the settlement website found HERE.
The settlement resolves claims on behalf of consumers who purchased or leased certain model year 2005-2020 gasoline-powered Porsche vehicles (the “Class Vehicles”). Plaintiffs allege that two practices improperly skewed emissions and fuel economy test results for the Class Vehicles. One tactic involved physically altering test vehicles in a manner that impacted CO2 emissions and fuel economy results, and a second practice impacted the emissions test results of certain vehicles equipped with a high-performance “Sport+” operating mode.
Keller Rohrback partner Ryan McDevitt said, "as our preliminary approval papers make clear, we believe this settlement is an excellent result for the class, and will provide valuable benefits to class members directly tied to the impact of the practices at issue."
Owners of eligible vehicles who file a timely claim will receive payments of up to $1,109 per vehicle.
