Ram, Jeep, Dodge & Chrysler 3.6L Valve Train Warranty Settlement

Stellantis (FCA US LLC) has agreed to extend valve train warranty coverage on certain 2015–2020 Ram, Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles with 3.6L engines. All class members receive an automatic 7-year/70,000-mile valve train warranty extension — no claim needed. Owners who already paid for a qualifying repair may seek reimbursement with documentation. No aggregate cash fund was disclosed. Reimbursement deadline: October 12, 2026. Official site: fcawarrantysettlement.com.

Do I Qualify?

You may be eligible if:

• You purchased or leased a qualifying 2015–2020 Ram, Dodge, Jeep, or Chrysler vehicle with a 3.6L engine
• Your vehicle was not previously totaled or salvaged
• You reside in California or in CT, DE, ME, MD, MA, OR, PA, RI, VT, or WA (Reg. 177 states)
• For reimbursement only: you already paid out of pocket for a qualifying valve train repair
• You submit a valid reimbursement claim by October 12, 2026 if seeking repayment

Warranty extension: automatic — no claim form. Reimbursement: documentation of a qualifying valve train repair you paid for out of pocket (repair orders and proof of payment per the official claim form).

What Happened?

Plaintiffs allege that certain 3.6L engines in 2015–2020 FCA/Stellantis vehicles have defective valve train components — rocker arms, lifters, and related parts — that can cause ticking, misfires, and potential engine failure. Stellantis denies the allegations.

The settlement provides an extended 7-year/70,000-mile valve train warranty for all class members automatically, plus a separate reimbursement path for owners who already paid for qualifying repairs. No dollar figure for an aggregate cash fund was published in the official notice.

Eligibility is tied to vehicle model year and engine type, not a purchase-date class period. California is the full class; Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington are included under Regulation 177.

How to File Your Claim

How Much Will I Actually Get?

All class members receive an automatic 7-year/70,000-mile warranty extension on valve train components (rocker arms, lifters, and related parts) with no claim form required. Separately, owners who already paid for a qualifying valve train repair out of pocket may file a reimbursement claim with documentation. No aggregate cash settlement fund was disclosed in the official notice — this is primarily a warranty-extension remedy plus claims-made reimbursement, not a pro rata cash pool.
