Dusevic & Garcha has filed the within proposed auto defect multi-jurisdictional class proceedings which alleges there exists a latent defect in the exterior factory-applied paint coatings of the Affected Class Vehicles that causes the coatings to prematurely and inevitably fail, which manifests in the form of peeling, delaminating, degrading, bubbling, and/or flaking, within the reasonably expected life of the vehicles (the “Paint Defect”). In particular, the Paint Defect results from: (i) a latent defect in the primer, base coat and/or clear coat used; (ii) a defect in the factory application process used to apply the coatings to the exterior body of the Affected Class Vehicles; and/or (iii) a defect in the Defendant’s, Nissan’s, painting/coating-line system
