2013-2023 Ram 2500 and 3500 Emissions Violations Federal Civil RICO Litigation
In December 2023, Lieff Cabraser and co-counsel filed a federal RICO lawsuit on behalf of consumers across the U.S. alleging that Ram and engine manufacturer Cummins Inc. violated emissions limits by installing emissions cheating devices on almost a million Ram 2500 and the Ram 3500 trucks. In separate proceedings with the U.S. government and California, Cummins agreed to pay $1.675 billion — the largest single Clean Air Act penalty of all time — to resolve similar allegations.
Lieff Cabraser previously litigated and settled a nationwide class action lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler for similar emissions cheating in over 104,000 diesel vehicles, including the Ram 1500. You can learn more about that case here.
