| FCA US, LLCsource ↗ filed by Garibian Law Offices, P.C. · Judge Unassigned Judge · No. 1:26-cv-01065 · 15:2301 Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $90M–$586M ▾False advertising claims against auto makers face mixed outcomes: Olson v. FCA US was affirmed but underlying disposition unclear, while comparable consumer-fraud rulings (Guthrie, Citizens of Humanity) show courts scrutinizing individualized reliance and probable cause closely. Settlement data shows large aggregate recoveries but wide variance ($90M-$586M) reflecting case-specific facts. Comparable settlements $90M–$586M median $90M · n=10 Western Union $586M · Toyota Industries $436M · Credit Glory $200M Comparable verdict: Papaya $420M · VPX, Inc. $293M Key precedent: Olson v. FCA US, LLC — same defendant, same UCL/CLRA-type consumer claims, appellate affirmance signals FCA's litigation posture and possible dismissal-stage vulnerabilities. Main risk: Individualized reliance/causation issues defeating class certification, as in Guthrie v. Transamerica (affirmed denial of certification for similar reasons) This defendant: FCA has prior consumer-claim exposure (Olson) and a wage settlement ($3.8M), showing repeat litigation but no clear pattern of large false-advertising losses. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2M–$225M Small, heterogeneous comparable set (mostly non-auto, non-D.Del. cases); class size and per-member figures are rough proxies, not case-specific data. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 9 verdicts | Filing | False Advertising | D.
