Default Spark plug class action

Forgive me if I am repeating a post but felt it necessary to notify the group if you haven't received a letter yet.

There is a class action regarding spark plug replacement performed on the triton 3v engines. They are offering reimbursement depending on your total cost if you still have the proper documentation. It's too late for myself as I gave away the records with the sale of the truck but maybe you can recover some $.

For more information visit the website:
www.fordsparkplugsettlement.com
Or cal 1-844-881-0285

There are deadlines associated with this so act now.

Take care my 04-08 friends and thank you for all of the help.

My truck had 130k when I did the plugs myself, can I still submit a claim?, if so which one? I do work at a dealership.

Does this apply to ALL owners or just those who bought their affected truck new?

I'm looking at doing a tune up, but thinking I would be better off taking it to the dealer if he is willing to cover part of the cost either via settlement or at reduced charge/no charge for the labor should it have an issue. (at least take it to them for this first time to be sure my truck is OK.)

I'd hate to have one brake off while attempting to remove it. I was told the dealer is best equipped to hand it should it brake during service. (Special tools to extract?)

It would seem like a no brainer here...call the supplied phone number in post #1 and find out.

Pretty typical class action- attorneys are the winners and those most impacted get very little:
What are the Settlement benefits?

Partial Reimbursement For Spark Plug Replacements Prior To 120,000 Miles
Every Class Member who spent more than $300 in parts and labor to replace eight spark plugs (or $37.50 per replaced spark plug) in a Vehicle with less than 120,000 miles will be eligible for reimbursement (in the form of a check) on a percentage of the amount you paid over $300. The amount of reimbursement will depend upon the cost incurred by the Class Member, and by the documentation that the Class Member provides.
Example 1: Class Member Pays More Than $300 and Less Than $500 to Replace 8 Spark Plugs - If a Class Member paid between $300 and $500 for eight replaced plugs, Ford will reimburse the Class Member 20% of the actual amount paid that is in excess of $300 (or 20% of the amount in excess of $37.50 per replaced plug). For example, if a Class Member paid $400 to replace 8 plugs ($50 per replaced plug), that Class Member (upon submission of a properly documented claim) would be entitled to $20.
Example 2: Class Member Pays At Least $500 and Less Than $1,000 to Replace 8 Spark Plugs - If a Class Member paid at least $500 and less than $1,000 for eight replaced plugs, Ford will reimburse the Class Member $5.00 per replaced plug plus 50% of the actual amount paid that is in excess of $500 (or $5.00 per replaced plug plus 50% of the amount in excess of $62.50 per replaced plug). For example, if a Class Member pays $850 to replace eight plugs ($106.25 per replaced plug), that Class Member (upon submission of a properly documented claim) would be entitled to $215.
Example 3: Class Member Pays $1,000 or More to Replace 8 Spark Plugs - If a Class Member paid $1,000 or more for eight replaced plugs, Ford will reimburse the Class Member $36.25 per replaced plug plus 75% of the actual amount paid that is in excess of $1,000 (or $36.25 per replaced plug plus 75% of the amount in excess of $125 per replaced plug). For example, if a Class Member pays $2,000 to replace 8 plugs ($250 per replaced plug), that Class Member (upon submission of a properly documented claim) would be entitled to $1,040.

My apologies if this post was offensive to anyone. I was only suggesting that it would be easy to identify if a person qualifies for a settlement if they call the number.

If you did it yourself it seems that were out of luck. Unless, you sign off yourself as the mechanic (without proof). Even then the claim will probably be denied.

No; just that someone felt it was offensive.
I didn't see how anyone here could answer that question as to how much, or if they are entitled to collect on this class action suit under any specific circumstances, especially when it involves a court ordered action. The best way to know is if they call the number.
