Ford Settles Transit Trail Class Action Lawsuit By Paying Owners Less Than The Package Cost - Jalopnik

Ford has reached a settlement in a class action tied to the Transit Trail off-road package. The dispute began after Ford recalled all-wheel-drive 2022 Transit Trail vans in early 2024 and swapped their 30.5-inch all-terrain tires for the 28.5-inch tires used on standard Transits. Owners said the change reduced the vans’ off-road capability. Under the agreement reached last week, eligible 2023 and 2024 Transit Trail owners can receive $6,000 for diminished performance. The article notes the new tires lowered ground clearance from 6.7 inches to 5.5 inches, and that nearly 2,000 vehicles were included in the recall.
