GM Fuel Pump Settlement 2026 -- File Your Reimbursement Claim by July 5
By eosguide editorial · Last updated
GM settled a $35M class action over defective CP4 fuel pumps in 2011-2016 Duramax Silverados and Sierras -- reimbursement claims for recent repairs due July 5, 2026. The pump's alleged party trick was grinding itself into metal shavings and contaminating the entire fuel system, which GM reportedly knew about and kept to itself.
What happened
Class period: March 1, 2010 through September 13, 2024
- Plaintiffs sued General Motors alleging that 2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra diesel trucks equipped with 6.6L Duramax engines contained a defective high-pressure fuel injection pump known as the CP4
- The CP4 pump is alleged to be unreasonably fragile -- its internal parts rub against each other, generating metal shavings that contaminate the entire high-pressure fuel injection system and can cause complete engine shutdown
- Plaintiffs alleged GM knowingly concealed this defect from truck owners, causing economic damages; this lawsuit does not involve personal injury claims
- GM denied all wrongdoing and contested the claims; the court did not rule on who was right or wrong
- The parties reached a $35 million settlement to resolve the case, which received final court approval on May 6, 2025
