Chrysler 200 Warranty Settlement—15-Year Coverage For PZEV Owners, Claim Deadline March 30, 2026
FCA US has agreed to extend warranties for 2015-2017 Chrysler 200 PZEV vehicles to cover the costs of parts and labor for replacing a failed MultiAir Actuator or Fuel Injector, for the earlier of fifteen years from the vehicle’s in-service date or 150,000 miles driven. If you purchased a Chrysler 200 originally sold as a Partial Zero Emission Vehicle in select states, you may qualify for this extended warranty and cash reimbursement.
The FCA class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on December 2, 2025, and is now moving toward final approval, with a fairness hearing scheduled for June 4, 2026.
What the Lawsuit Alleged
A settlement has been reached with FCA US in a lawsuit alleging it did not provide the appropriate emission warranty coverage for certain MultiAir Actuator and Fuel Injector components as “emissions-related parts” under the California Emissions Warranty on certain model-year 2015-2017 Chrysler 200 vehicles.
The case, Thompson v. FCA US LLC, No. 2:21-cv-09815 (C.D. Cal.), claimed that FCA failed to honor California’s strict emissions warranty requirements for components that affect vehicle emissions. California law requires automakers to provide longer warranty coverage for emissions-related parts compared to standard components.
The lawsuit specifically targeted MultiAir actuators and fuel injectors—critical engine components that control airflow and fuel delivery. When these parts fail, they can trigger emissions problems and cause poor engine performance, rough idling, stalling, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Who Qualifies For This Settlement
Consumers who purchased a model-year 2015, 2016 or 2017 Chrysler 200 originally sold as a partial zero emission vehicle in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont or Washington may be eligible to claim reimbursement for past repairs or receive extended warranty coverage.
Both current and former owners are eligible and do not need to have owned the vehicle since new, but FCA US LLC must confirm their purchase.
Your vehicle qualifies if it meets these three requirements:
- Model year 2015, 2016, or 2017 Chrysler 200
- Originally sold as a PZEV (Partial Zero Emission Vehicle)
- First sold in one of the eleven covered states listed above
Check your vehicle documentation or contact FCA to verify if your Chrysler 200 was sold as a PZEV. This designation usually appears on a label under the hood or in the owner’s manual.
Settlement Benefits: Extended Warranty and Cash Reimbursement
The settlement provides two main benefits to eligible class members:
Extended Warranty Coverage (Automatic): FCA US LLC will extend its existing warranty obligations to cover the cost of all parts and labor for replacing a failed MultiAir actuator or fuel injector component. This coverage lasts for the earlier of 15 years from the vehicle’s in-service date or 150,000 miles driven.
You need not do anything to receive the warranty extension. It applies automatically to all eligible vehicles. Repairs must be performed at authorized FCA US dealerships, and class members won’t pay out-of-pocket costs for covered repairs within the warranty period.
Repair Reimbursement (Requires Claim Form): If a class member previously paid for a repair related to a failed MultiAir actuator or fuel injector component that the extended warranty should have covered, they may submit a claim for reimbursement of the actual amount paid for the qualifying repair. Documentation is required.
Similar to other automotive warranty settlements like the Hyundai Class Action Lawsuit Engine, $1.3B Settlement For Theta II Defects—Lifetime Warranty, Reimbursement & How To Claim, you’ll need repair invoices, receipts, and proof of payment to claim reimbursement.
Critical Deadline: March 30, 2026
To claim reimbursement for a past qualifying repair, class members must complete the online claim form or download, print and complete the PDF claim form and mail or email it to the settlement administrator. The claim form deadline is March 30, 2026.
This deadline is firm—missing it means forfeiting your reimbursement rights. However, the extended warranty coverage applies automatically without filing a claim.

Required Documentation For Reimbursement Claims
To successfully claim reimbursement, gather the following:
- Repair invoices or receipts showing MultiAir actuator or fuel injector replacement
- Proof of payment (credit card statements, canceled checks, or payment receipts)
- Vehicle identification number (VIN)
- Proof of vehicle ownership or purchase (registration, title, or bill of sale)
- Dates when repairs were performed
Organize this documentation before starting your claim. Incomplete claims may be denied, requiring you to resubmit before the March 30 deadline.
When You’ll Receive Payment
The settlement administrator will issue reimbursements after the court resolves any appeals and gives final approval to the settlement.
The Court will hold a Fairness Hearing on June 4, 2026, to consider approving the Settlement, attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses (up to $980,000), and service awards (up to $7,500 for each named plaintiff).
Based on typical settlement timelines, approved claims should receive payment 60-120 days after final approval, likely in late 2026 or early 2027.
Opting Out or Objecting
If you do not want to be legally bound by the Settlement, you must opt out of the Settlement by April 2, 2026. If you want to object to the Settlement, you must file an objection by April 2, 2026.
Opting out preserves your right to file an individual lawsuit against FCA. However, you’ll forfeit settlement benefits including the extended warranty and repair reimbursement. Most class members benefit more from staying in the settlement than opting out.
What Happens Next
The settlement is currently in the notice period. FCA US is identifying class members and sending direct mail notifications. The fairness hearing will determine whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate for class members.
If approved, the extended warranty takes effect immediately and reimbursement checks will be processed. The Settlement does not mean FCA US did anything wrong, nor does it mean Plaintiffs would not win if the case were to go to trial. The Court has not decided who is right.
Frequently Asked Questions

Both current and former owners are eligible. As long as FCA’s records confirm you purchased an eligible vehicle, you can claim reimbursement for repairs you paid for while you owned it.
