FCA US
Jeep Wrangler 4xe FORM Proposed Settlement
Eligible owners and lessees of certain 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe vehicles could receive a reported $400 base payment per qualifying vehicle under a proposed settlement. Additional documented-complaint payments could bring the total to $750. Court approval is still needed, and claims are not open yet.
Key facts
Owners allege that Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode kept certain Jeep Wrangler 4xe vehicles from using their electric-driving capabilities for extended periods. FCA US denies the allegations. The parties have proposed a settlement, and plaintiffs have requested preliminary approval.
What could you receive?
Published reporting describes a $400 base payment per qualifying vehicle for owners who certify more than 2.5 operating hours in FORM. Co-owners split that payment. Records of one qualifying complaint could add $250, or two or more could add $350. Only the complaint supplements would be reduced if eligible claims exceed the proposed $5 million claims allocation. Counsel confirms a proposed maximum of $750, depending on experience and records. These are proposed benefits, not payments available now.
What information is needed?
Keep ownership or lease records, vehicle details and any dealer or manufacturer complaints about FORM. The eventual court-approved notice and claim form will control the required certifications and supporting records.
What dates matter?
A calendar claim deadline and final approval hearing have not been announced in the current counsel update. Counsel says a settlement website and direct notice will follow preliminary approval. No payment is guaranteed.
Who may qualify
The proposed class concerns 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe owners and lessees in Alaska, North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin, Maine, Vermont, Wyoming, New Hampshire, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Utah, Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Oregon, Washington, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island and Virginia. Reported base-payment eligibility includes certification of more than 2.5 operating hours in FORM. Later Wrangler model years and Grand Cherokee 4xe vehicles are not covered by this proposed settlement.
What proof do you need?
Do you need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you’ll need proof for some claims but not others. The reported proposed base payment requires certification that a qualifying vehicle spent more than 2.5 operating hours in FORM. Complaint supplements require records. Keep purchase or lease documents and complaint records. The final notice and claim form are not yet available.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Not yet announced is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
