Class members of the Ford class action lawsuit include anyone in Canada who owned or leased one of the affected vehicles on or before June 8, 2021, and had a water pump that failed, causing the vehicle to sustain damage. Ford owners and lessees whose vehicles sustained damage and caused them to suffer personal injury are also included in the lawsuit.
Ford Water Pump Defect Class Action Lawsuit Background
Plaintiffs Kimberley Carter, Keith Halliday and Deonarine Phagoo filed the Ford water pump class action lawsuit, alleging the water pumps in the affected Ford vehicles are defective and leak coolant into other engine parts and damage engine components.
The Ford water pump defect can cause catastrophic engine failures, the Ford class action lawsuit alleges.
The court dismissed some claims from the proposed Ford class action lawsuit before granting certification, including claims of negligent manufacturing and failure to warn. The judge also removed Ford Credit Canada Limited as a defendant.
The Ford class action lawsuit will include a negligence in design claim for vehicles equipped with a Ford Duratec V6 water pump that caused engine damage or injured the vehicle owner.
A similar Ford Duratec class action lawsuit was filed in the United States, but a judge dismissed that case after finding the plaintiffs failed to adequately show Ford knowingly sold vehicles with defective parts.

2018 Ford Explorer -water pump issues. Coolant leaking into engine. Only 61,000 miles. 2500$ repair. Ofcourse the warranty just ran out! 😩 Currently in shop getting fixed! Please included me in class action!
I have a 2010 Ford edge and last month my water pump broke down and engine lights came on and I haven’t fix it yet but if it has a recall I. Would like to know more information
I have a 2013 Ford Edge and after some recent car troubles it was determined that the water pump is broken and requires an expensive fix. The car is currently in the shop getting fixed. Please include me in any actions regarding this class action lawsuit.
I have a 2014 Ford Flex and the car was diagnosed with a water pump issue a few months back for which we had the repair done and incurred the cost of doing so.
My mother has a 2016 Ford Fusion and is currently going through the exact same problem after antifreeze spilled out under the hood. Water pump is currently being replaced and she’s been quoted $2000+ for the work.
Please include me in this class action lawsuit.
I have a 2015 Ford Taurus SEL and it is verified that the water pump needs to be replaced.
I have a 2009 Lincoln MKX which is in getting the water pump replaced as we speak. Hoping there’s no other serious damage but the water pump has definitely failed causing antifreeze to enter the engine.
my 2011 has the water pump out also. extensive price to pay for what is such a small repair..add me please. thanks. i also have a 2012 same thing.
Own a 2011 Ford Edge Sport with 125K miles & have not any major issues with the vehicle until this weekend (03june23). Check engine light came on, took it to the dealership who informed me there is a leaking internal water pump. In order to repair it they need to take apart the motor and based on the year & mileage of my vehicle if they only replace the water pump they can’t guarantee nothing else won’t go wrong with the motor. As a result, they recommend replacing the entire motor which will cost $11K!! This price is more than what the car is worth BUT this is/was a very reliable & well taken care of vehicle that all of a sudden stopped performing like it should. If I meet the requirements of the class action lawsuit I am interested in being a part of it.
I live in the US and I purchased a 2017 ford edge in 2018. The water pump suddenly went 2 weeks ago, there’s only 46,600 mi not an extreme amount for almost 7 year old car. I was told my warrantee had run out for that part and it would be $699 plus tax to fix. I explained it may be defective from what I’ve read and they refused to fix it and said it was due to wear and tear.
This is the text I received prior to refusal to fix ;
Good morning verified concern water pump leaking $699, also rear brake pads low needs replacement with rotor $689.95(LIFETIME WARRANTY ON BRAKE PADS) battery weak recommend replacement $369.95(5yrs warranty) wipers blades $69.95, brake fluid service needed $219.95,NYSI $37.00 entire repairs $2330.00with tax Monday completion Let us know to proceed.
Text STOP to opt-out.
