What is the $6M BMW Fraudulent Emissions Class Action?
This $6,000,000 BMW class action lawsuit, known as Rickman v. BMW of North America, alleges that BMW equipped certain diesel vehicles (2009-2013 BMW X5 xDrive35d and 2009-2011 BMW 335d) with something known as a "defeat device" that would have reduced emissions controls while driving certain BMW cars. The BMW class action lawsuit claimed BMW defrauded consumers by developing, advertising, and selling certain BMW vehicles with devices that allowed higher pollution levels during normal operation compared to regulatory testing environments.BMW denies all allegations made in the lawsuit and opted to settle to avoid the costs and uncertainties associated with further litigation. The Court has yet to determine the validity of the claims made by either party involved in the class action lawsuit.
