Check your car: GM to pay $12,700 to owners of these Chevy models for serious defect

After years of class action litigation, a judge has determined that General Motors was aware it was selling vehicles with components incompatible (a CP4 pump) with the diesel sold at gas stations in at least seven U.S. states (California, Illinois, Iowa, Texas, New York, and Pennsylvania) causing costly failures that vehicle owners had to pay for.

The American parent company has signed a preliminary $50 million settlement agreeing to compensate drivers of Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models with Duramax engines manufactured between 2011 and 2016 and owners could be entitled to over $6,000 compensation.

General Motors haven’t accepted that the production error was their fault but have agreed to compensate buyers to maintain their customer service levels.
