The Claims

A national class action against Navistar International Corporation and its Canadian subsidiary, Navistar Canada, Inc., filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, on behalf of all Canadian owners and lessors of 2008–2013 model year trucks equipped with MaxxForce Advanced EGR diesel engines.

The action alleges that Navistar actively concealed that its 2008-2013 model year trucks equipped with MaxxForce Advanced EGR diesel engines contained a defective emissions system that caused the trucks to suddenly – and repeatedly – break down. These break-downs endangered drivers and have caused extraordinary financial loss.


The Class

All persons and entities in Canada, excluding Québec, who on or before February 24, 2022, purchased or leased for more than 30 days, one or more 2011-2014 model year Navistar vehicles equipped with a MaxxForce 11-, 13-, or 15-litre engine.

These Navistar vehicles includes the following truck brands: “PAYSTAR”, “WORKSTAR”, “TRANSTAR”, “9900i”, “LONESTAR”, and “PROSTAR”.
