Truck owners: Check if you're entitled to money in fuel injector pump settlement
People who purchased select models of Chevrolet and GMC trucks may be eligible for payments of up to $12,700 as part of a $35 million settlement involving defective fuel injector pumps.
The settlement pertains to 2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierra diesel trucks equipped with 6.6L Duramax engines and Bosch 'CP4' high-pressure diesel fuel pumps.
According to a press release from the JND Legal Administration, the lawsuit pertains to these pumps being 'unreasonably fragile and susceptible to catastrophic failure.'
While General Motors denied the claims, the company has agreed to the $35 million settlement.
Truck owners who purchased one of these models from a GM-authorized dealer in California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania or Texas between March 1, 2010 and Sept. 13, 2024 may be eligible for settlement benefits.
A VIN lookup is available to check if your truck is included in the settlement.
A cash payment is available to truck owners who paid out of pocket for repairs to the CP4 fuel pump and available for folks who no longer own their truck and did not pay for a fuel pump repair. Partial cash back for future CP4 fuel pump replacements and repairs are also available in some circumstances, according to the settlement website.
People who paid out of pocket for a CP4 repair that was not covered by warranty could receive between $6,356 and $12,712, while folks who no longer own their trucks and did not pay for repairs could receive between $400 and $800, depending on how many valid claims are received.
A partial repair reimbursement program also offers cash back on future CP4 repairs performed at a GM-authorized dealership on or after the date of final approval of the settlement.
You can file a claim online, or submit a paper claim form to info@GMFuelPumpLitigation.com or GM Fuel Pump Settlement, c/o JND Legal Administration, PO Box 91445, Seattle, WA 98111.
The deadline to file a claim is six months after the court issues final approval; the hearing on the final settlement is scheduled for April 25. Claims require supporting documentation, such as proof of purchase and proof of repair.

SNAP Benefits Bonus Available For 580,000 Americans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. SNAP recipients in Colorado can get extra benefits this summer providing they make healthy purchases, state officials have announced. Why It Matters Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, commonly known as food stamps, are provided to low- and no-income families across the U.S. to help them with the cost of groceries. Colorado has around 584,000 SNAP recipients —10 percent of its population — all of whom are eligible for the boost. SNAP recipients in Colorado can get extra benefits this summer providing they make healthy purchases, state officials have said. SNAP recipients in Colorado can get extra benefits this summer providing they make healthy purchases, state officials have said. GETTY What To Know SNAP participants can get up to $60 per month via a dollar-for-dollar match on fruits and vegetables bought from participating retailers as part of the Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus program. Last summer, the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), in collaboration with Nourish Colorado, launched a pilot of the electronic Healthy Incentive Program to make nutritious food more affordable for families. Since its debut, more than 99 percent of the bonus benefits have been successfully redeemed. To participate, SNAP users just need to purchase eligible fruits and vegetables at a participating retailer. They will automatically receive a dollar-for-dollar match added to their electronic benefit transfer card, which can be used at any SNAP-authorized location. You can earn up to $60 in bonus funds each month, which can then be spent on any SNAP-eligible items at any authorized retailer. There are around 30 retailers participating in the program, with some in populous areas like Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Loveland, as well as smaller towns like Mancos and Hotchkiss. Bricks and mortar retailers are not the only businesses participating, with farm stands and markets in numerous locations also taking part. What People Are Saying Abby McClelland, director of CDHS's Food and Energy Assistance Division, said in a statement: "The Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus program helps families stretch their food budget and access fruits and vegetables that they may not have bought without this incentive program. This is especially important with the increase in grocery prices that we have seen recently." Emma Kottenstette, founder of retailer Farm Runners, said: "Most people that come in know about the program and are stoked and then just keep coming back. Once they find out about the program one time, it's like they don't need any convincing." What Happens Next The program comes at a time when various states have succeeded in limiting SNAP purchases for unhealthy foods like soda and candy, with more expected to have waivers approved in the coming weeks and months. Nebraska, Iowa and Indiana have recently had waivers approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which funds the program, to eliminate certain purchases being made with SNAP benefits in a push to promote healthy eating.
