Which Chrysler 200 vehicles are covered by the settlement?

Model-year 2015, 2016, and 2017 Chrysler 200 vehicles that were originally sold as Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEV) in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, or Washington.

What does the Chrysler 200 settlement provide?

Two main benefits. First, a warranty extension that covers all parts and labor for replacing a failed MultiAir Actuator or Fuel Injector component for 15 years from the vehicle's in-service date or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. Second, reimbursement for anyone who already paid out of pocket for these repairs. Future repairs under the warranty extension are fully covered at any authorized FCA US dealership with no cost to the owner.

What is the deadline to file a claim for reimbursement?

The deadline to submit a claim form for reimbursement of a past repair is March 30, 2026. You can file online at www.MultiAirActuatorFuelInjectorSettlement.com, by email, or by mail to the Settlement Administrator.

Do I need to file a claim to get the warranty extension?

No. The warranty extension is automatic for all class members. You do not need to file a claim form or do anything to receive the extended warranty coverage. However, if you already paid for a MultiAir Actuator or Fuel Injector repair out of pocket, you do need to submit a claim form to get reimbursed for that past expense.

What is a MultiAir Actuator and why does it fail?

The MultiAir Actuator is an electro-hydraulic system that controls the engine's intake valves. It's a key component in the 2.4-liter Tigershark engine used in the Chrysler 200. When the MultiAir Actuator fails, it can cause rough idling, engine misfires, loss of power, poor fuel economy, and a check engine light. The lawsuit alleges these parts should have been classified as emissions-related components and covered under the longer California Emissions Warranty rather than the standard powertrain warranty.

What documentation do I need to submit a reimbursement claim?

Your claim must include a completed claim form, proof of payment (such as a paid invoice, receipt, or credit card statement showing the amount and date), and documentation identifying the vehicle including the VIN, owner name, the component repaired, and the name and contact information of the repair facility.

What if I had the repair done at a shop that isn't an authorized FCA dealership?

You can still submit a claim for reimbursement for past repairs regardless of where the repair was performed, as long as you have documentation proving payment and identifying the vehicle and repair. However, future repairs under the warranty extension must be performed at an authorized FCA US dealership to be covered at no cost.

How long does the warranty extension last?

The warranty extension covers the MultiAir Actuator and Fuel Injector components for the earlier of 15 years from the vehicle's in-service date or 150,000 miles driven. All parts and labor for replacement are fully covered at authorized FCA US dealerships with no charges to the owner.

When is the final approval hearing for the Chrysler 200 settlement?

The final approval hearing is scheduled for June 4, 2026 at 10:00 AM PT at the United States Courthouse, 350 W. 1st Street, 6th floor, Courtroom 6D, Los Angeles, California.

How are the attorneys being paid in this settlement?

Class Counsel may receive up to $980,000 in fees, costs, and expenses, paid by FCA US. The class representatives may each receive up to $7,500 in service awards. Attorney fees are paid separately by the defendant and do not reduce class member benefits.

What is a PZEV vehicle?

PZEV stands for Partial Zero Emission Vehicle. These are vehicles that meet California's strict emissions standards and come with enhanced emissions warranties. The 2015-2017 Chrysler 200 models sold as PZEVs in the 11 qualifying states were supposed to have longer warranty coverage on emissions-related parts, which is the core issue in this lawsuit — FCA US allegedly did not classify the MultiAir Actuator and Fuel Injector as emissions-related parts that qualified for the extended coverage.

Chrysler 200 MultiAir Actuator Fuel Injector Class Action Settlement

Published: February 12, 2026

Reimbursement Claim Deadline: March 30, 2026

Warranty Extension: 15 years / 150,000 miles (automatic, no claim needed)

Vehicles: 2015-2017 Chrysler 200 PZEV models sold in 11 states

If you own or owned a 2015, 2016, or 2017 Chrysler 200 that was sold as a Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) in one of 11 states, a class action settlement is extending the warranty on two key engine components — the MultiAir Actuator and the Fuel Injector — to 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.

If you already paid out of pocket for one of these repairs, you can get your money back by filing a claim before March 30, 2026.

The warranty extension is automatic. You don't need to file anything to receive it. But if you want reimbursement for a past repair, you need to submit a claim form with proof of payment.

What Is This Settlement About?

The class action lawsuit alleged that Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram sold 2015-2017 Chrysler 200 vehicles as Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEVs) in states that follow California's emissions standards, but failed to classify the MultiAir Actuator and Fuel Injector as "emissions-related parts." This matters because emissions-related parts are supposed to come with a longer warranty under California's Emissions Warranty rules.

Instead of providing the extended emissions warranty coverage that these parts should have had, FCA US treated them as standard powertrain components with a shorter warranty period. When the parts failed — as they frequently did — owners were told the repair wasn't covered and had to pay out of pocket, sometimes hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

A class action settlement has now been reached. FCA US denies wrongdoing and the court has not made any determination of liability. The case is Thompson, et al. v. FCA US LLC, Case No. 2:21-cv-09815, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

What Is a MultiAir Actuator and Why Does It Matter?

The MultiAir Actuator is a critical part of the 2.4-liter Tigershark engine used in the Chrysler 200. It's an electro-hydraulic system that controls how the engine's intake valves open and close, which directly affects performance, fuel economy, and emissions output.

When the MultiAir Actuator fails, you'll typically notice one or more of these symptoms:

• Rough idling or engine vibration
• Engine misfires or hesitation during acceleration
• Significant loss of power
• Poor fuel economy
• Check engine light coming on
• Engine stalling or difficulty starting

The Fuel Injector is equally important — it's responsible for delivering the precise amount of fuel to the engine's combustion chambers. A failed fuel injector can cause many of the same symptoms, plus rough running and increased emissions.

These aren't cheap repairs. Replacing a MultiAir Actuator or fuel injector at a dealership can easily run $500 to $1,500 or more depending on the shop and whether additional damage occurred. The whole point of this lawsuit is that owners shouldn't have been paying for these repairs at all — they should have been covered under the emissions warranty.

Who Qualifies?

You are a class member if you purchased a model-year 2015, 2016, or 2017 Chrysler 200 that was originally sold as a PZEV in one of these 11 states:

• California
• Connecticut
• Delaware
• Maine
• Maryland
• Massachusetts
• Oregon
• Pennsylvania
• Rhode Island
• Vermont
• Washington

These are the states that follow California's emissions standards and require PZEV certification. Your vehicle's PZEV status is confirmed by FCA US's records, so if you received a settlement notice, you're likely a class member.

Excluded from the settlement are FCA US employees, officers, directors, and their immediate families, as well as any judges presiding over the case.

What Do I Get?

Warranty Extension (Automatic — No Claim Needed)

FCA US will extend the warranty on the MultiAir Actuator and Fuel Injector to cover all parts and labor for the earlier of 15 years from the vehicle's in-service date or 150,000 miles. This coverage is automatic for all class members. You do not need to file a claim or do anything to receive it.

If your MultiAir Actuator or Fuel Injector fails in the future and you're within the 15-year / 150,000-mile window, just take your vehicle to an authorized FCA US dealership. The repair will be fully covered with no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Reimbursement for Past Repairs (Claim Required)

If you already paid for a repair to a failed MultiAir Actuator or Fuel Injector, you can submit a claim for full reimbursement. Your claim must include:

• A completed claim form
• Proof of payment (paid invoice, receipt, or credit card statement showing amount and date)
• Documentation identifying the vehicle including the VIN, owner name, the component repaired, and the repair facility's name and contact information

What Is a PZEV?

PZEV stands for Partial Zero Emission Vehicle. These are gas-powered vehicles that meet California's strictest emissions standards and are sold in states that have adopted those standards. PZEVs are required to have near-zero evaporative emissions and come with extended emissions warranties on certain parts.

The core allegation in this lawsuit is that the MultiAir Actuator and Fuel Injector should have been classified as emissions-related parts under the California Emissions Warranty, which would have entitled PZEV owners to longer coverage. FCA US allegedly treated them as ordinary powertrain parts with a shorter warranty, leaving owners to pay for repairs that should have been covered.

What Happens If I Do Nothing?

If you do nothing, you will still receive the warranty extension automatically. If your MultiAir Actuator or Fuel Injector fails in the future and you're within the 15-year / 150,000-mile coverage window, the repair will be covered at no cost at an authorized FCA US dealership.

However, if you've already paid for one of these repairs, you will not receive reimbursement unless you submit a claim form. You will also be bound by the settlement and unable to sue FCA US over these issues in the future.

Can I Opt Out or Object?

The deadline to opt out or file an objection is April 2, 2026.

Opting out means you receive no reimbursement benefits from the settlement but preserve your right to file your own lawsuit against FCA US. You may still benefit from the warranty extension even if you opt out.

Objecting means you disagree with the settlement terms but remain in the class. You cannot both opt out and object. Objections must be filed with the court and mailed to both Class Counsel and FCA US's counsel.

Important Dates

• Reimbursement Claim Deadline: March 30, 2026
• Opt-Out Deadline: April 2, 2026
• Objection Deadline: April 2, 2026
• Final Approval Hearing: June 4, 2026 at 10:00 AM PT — U.S. Courthouse, Los Angeles, CA

Attorneys' Fees

Class Counsel (Pomerantz LLP and Law Office of Robert L. Starr) may receive up to $980,000 in fees, costs, and expenses, paid by FCA US separately from class member benefits. The class representatives (Ebony Thompson and Juvenal Rodriguez) may each receive up to $7,500 in service awards.
