$6,000 per vehicle Ford Transit Trail Wheel Well Settlement

Original owners and lessees of 2023 or 2024 Ford Transit Trail vehicles purchased or leased for personal use before June 1, 2024, who have not already received compensation from Ford, qualify.

Proof of ownership is required, such as the vehicle identification number (VIN), original purchase agreement, or lease agreement.

About This Settlement

A class action lawsuit alleged that 2023 and 2024 Ford Transit Trail vehicles were sold with defective wheel wells that allegedly fail to provide sufficient clearance for tires under certain driving conditions. These alleged defects prompted a 2024 NHTSA recall and purportedly caused financial harm to owners and lessees who were forced to replace tires and other components. Ford Motor Co. has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to a settlement to resolve these claims.
