If you purchased or leased a 2015 – 2018 Ford F-150 and have experienced multiple repairs for brake system issues, it is important to opt out of the Weidman, et al. v. Ford Motor Company, et al. class action before October 17, 2022, otherwise you will not be able to bring an individual lemon law claim for these brake system issues.
A faulty brake master cylinder might affect braking performance in these trucks, increasing the risk of accidents. Vehicles automatically included in the class are 2015 – 2018 Ford F-150 models that were bought or leased in California and equipped with a Hitachi step-bore master cylinder. If you wish to remain in the class action settlement, which delivers far less than a lemon law buyback or repurchase, you don’t need to do anything and you might eventually be reimbursed for brake master cylinder repairs if you submit a reimbursement claim on time.
However, remaining in the class action means you will waive your lemon law rights, and lemon law claims typically provide far better results than class actions, including vehicle buybacks, additional monetary compensation, and other damages. If you do not opt out by October 17, 2022, you will not be able to bring any future lemon law claims related to 2015 – 2018 Ford F-150’s with master cylinder defects.
If you own a Ford F-150 in California and are experiencing brake system or any other issues that haven’t been fixed in a reasonable number of attempts while under warranty, Lemon Law Aid could potentially get your truck replaced or repurchased.
