Dusevic & Garcha has filed the within proposed auto defect liability multi-jurisdictional class proceeding which involves allegations that certain model year Ford vehicles engineered, designed, manufactured, assembled, tested, marketed, distributed, supplied, leased and/or sold by the Defendants, Ford Motor Company and Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited/Ford du Canada Limitée, in Canada, including the Province of British Columbia, equipped with a low-pressure fuel pump containing one or more design and/or manufacturing defects. In particular, the low-pressure fuel pump was manufactured with internal clearances between moving components that were below supplier specifications thereby causing excessive internal friction resulting in: (1) accelerated wear of internal components and consequent metal and/or plastic contamination of the jet pump, especially under low fuel conditions; and/or (2) increased ambient temperature within the fuel tank that heightens the risk of vapor lock, all of which results in loss of fuel pressure and flow from the low-pressure fuel pump, significantly hinders the ability of the Affected Class Vehicles’ engine to receive fuel thereby creating the risk of engine stalling and/or failure while driving, which poses a real, substantial and imminent risk of harm, injury and/or death to vehicle occupants.
