FCA must provide to the DOJ complete compliance ,This is part of the complaint even if 1 out of the 104,000 does not comply FCA would be looking at the WHOLE deal be revisited by the Plaintiff and court. The agreement does not allow FCA to show good faith its ALL 100% or the settlement could be amended.
Where did you read that? I thought I carefully reviewed all five documents (almost 500 pages) and not sure how I missed it. I see the cash settlement as an incentive to get owners to consider the updated software. Many trucks have been deleted and do not qualify. FCA cannot be held responsible for individual owners actions.
The settlement agreement defines 'operable' as stated in the paragraph copied below.
“Operable” means that a vehicle can be driven under its own engine power and is
in reasonable condition such that it can be driven lawfully and safely on public roads, even if it
has a mechanical issue, under a common-sense understanding of what is an acceptable condition
for driving. An otherwise Eligible Vehicle that has been altered with the use of any after-market
emissions-related components, parts, and/or software or the removal of any original emissionsrelated components, parts, and/or software, if such alteration(s) are likely to substantially affect
the operation of the vehicle with the Approved Emissions Modification or substantially impede
installation of the Approved Emissions Modification, shall not be considered Operable unless and
until the owner of such vehicle, at his or her expense, has reversed the alteration(s) such that the
Approved Emissions Modification may be installed and not substantially affected."
Per the settlement FCA cannot even consider installing the updated software to a vehicle that is not considered operable.
Help me out here and provide the specific text of the settlement that comes close to what you are telling us.
Thanks
