Navistar, Inc. Class Action Over Defective Engines Proceeds Under Watchful Supervision of Finkelstein & Krinsk

SAN DIEGO, July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mark Knutson of the national plaintiff's law firm Finkelstein & Krinsk, the first to file a class action lawsuit against Navistar, Inc., on behalf of Washington/California trucker client Par 4, affirms the intent to recover all losses suffered by trucking companies resulting from their purchasing or leasing Navistar truck models 2008-2013 equipped with Navistar's MaxxForce Advanced EGR diesel engines.

The MaxxForce engines contain a defective emission system that causes trucks to underperform, break down or falter without good reason.  These Navistar engines have cost buyers and lessees, from large fleet owners to small businesses, millions of dollars in damages.  The practice of Navistar threatens the livelihood and reputation of innumerable businesses.  The firm intends to hold Navistar responsible for the poor quality of its engines and reimburse all those damaged by excessive down time, repairs and tarnished good will.

The MaxxForce engine defect leads to repeated engine failure causing constant repairs that, coupled with a lack of help and direction by Navistar, is a constant business detriment.  Navistar never did repair the emission system, replacing the engine defect with an equally defective and failure prone system.  Some truckers have spoken about dangerous road situations arising as a result, and some have spoken of the noxious coolant and exhaust fumes that migrate to the passenger compartment.

The Navistar truck models containing the defective MaxxForce engines include models having the brand name "International ProStar" and "Lonestar International Transstar", "International Workstar" and "Paystar", and "International Loadstar" (these are all Class 7 and 8 trucks – the largest and heaviest made). 

By proceeding via a class action, there are no costs and expenses paid by our clients except from what we recover in an amount decided by the Court.  We want to hear from you if you have experienced a loss by owning or leasing the Navistar trucks identified above.  Please call us toll free (1-877-493-5366) or via email ([email protected]) to see if we can include your claim within our Lead Case.  There is no obligation of any kind.
