Detailed Background of the Case

The lawsuit, officially known as Lisa White, et al. v. FCA US LLC, was filed due to allegations that FCA US LLC equipped certain 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan models with defective sliding door components—specifically, the lock actuators and door latches. Plaintiffs argued these defects caused mechanical failures, which prevented the doors from locking or unlocking properly. Owners and lessees faced persistent safety concerns and unexpected repair costs due to these defective components.

Consumers claimed that FCA US LLC should have been aware of these defects due to numerous complaints and warranty claims but failed to adequately address or disclose the issues. According to the lawsuit, the company violated consumer protection laws by continuing to sell and market these vehicles without properly addressing the known defects.

Facing these allegations and the prospect of prolonged legal proceedings, FCA US LLC chose to settle the lawsuit without admitting wrongdoing. The settlement ensures affected customers receive appropriate compensation and solutions for the identified problems.

Who’s Eligible for the Settlement?

You may qualify for the Dodge Grand Caravan class action settlement if:

• You purchased or leased a Dodge Grand Caravan built between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017, in the United States.
