What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) System?
The purpose of the DPF system is to eliminate and cleanse accumulated soot and pollutants in the vehicle exhaust, ensuring optimal regeneration. A malfunctioning DPF system hinders proper regeneration, leading to system clogs and a decline in the vehicle's engine performance
A blocked DPF system can result in reduced vehicle speed and compromised road safety. Additionally, the presence of soot contributes to air pollution, causing the vehicle to potentially fall short of advertised environmental standards
Who is the claim against?
Our partner law firm will be bringing the claim against Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc and any other relevant Jaguar Land Rover entity, as well as authorised Jaguar Land Rover finance companies or dealerships who have sold, leased or financed defective vehicles
What are the implications of a faulty DPF System?
It has been discovered that Jaguar Land Rover has installed a potentially faulty DPF system in specific vehicles. This could have implications for the safety and environmental efficiency of the vehicle. Moreover, affected vehicles may necessitate more frequent and costlier servicing, potentially even requiring a new engine. Our findings indicate that if the DPF system is defective, the vehicle is likely to experience a diminished resale value
Which models are impacted?
The models that are included in the claim are:
What time limitations are there to claim?
The affected vehicles must have been purchased between 2015 and 2024 (apart from the Jaguar E-Pace X450 which must have been purchased between April 2017 and 2021)
How much will your claim be worth?
It's possible that your claim could be worth thousands of pounds
The level of compensation you may receive as a result of the claim will be dependent on a number of factors such as:
Any additional losses you may have suffered as a result of the defective DPF system will also be considered, the legal team will keep you updated if there are any changes
How long will the claim take?
It is difficult to say at the early stages of an English litigation how long the claims might take. Length of claims depends on a number of factors outside our partner law firm's control, including the approach that Jaguar Land Rover and any other defendants will take to the litigation. Group claims of this type may take two to five years to progress through the Court, but it could take much longer. The length of time the claim takes will depend on any complexities arising within the litigation
Our partner law firm will update you regularly with more information on the timescale of your case, particularly in relation to timescale for next steps, which can be predicted more accurately
How will our partner law firm bring your claim?
They are at a very early stage of the claims, where they are gathering information and evidence in relation to the claims
In due course they are optimistic that they will be in a position to advise you to issue court proceedings. They will be working with other firms who are also instructed in relation to these claims, and between them they are then likely to make an application for a Group Litigation Order. A Group Litigation Order allows for claims with common/related issues to be heard and managed together, rather than on an individual basis, making it far more efficient
As well as pursuing court proceedings our partner law firm will explore all possible ways of achieving your objectives, including mediation or some other alternative dispute resolution procedure if appropriate and if Jaguar Land Rover and any other defendants will agree to it
How often will you be updated about your claim?
You will be provided with regular updates from our partner law firm, particularly around significant milestones in your claim
Can I claim on vehicles I've sold?
Yes. You can still claim if you have sold your vehicle as long as you can show that you have previously owned the affected vehicle
Can I claim on second-hand vehicles?
Yes! You are eligible to join the claim whether your vehicle was bought new or second hand
What fees are involved?
There are no upfront costs, and our partner law firm will not charge you unless your claim is successful. Your claim will be brought on a 'no-win-no-fee' basis, representing you on a Damages Based Agreement. If you lose, you will not pay a penny. If you win, our partner law firm will receive a maximum of 50% (inclusive of VAT) of your compensation as payment for representing you
Please carefully review the agreement documents, in particular your client care letter, for details of these terms and conditions before you sign
Has there been a previous claim for defective DPF systems that has been successful?
A successful class action was brought to trial against Toyota in the Australian courts in April 2022, and upheld on appeal in March 2023. The action was brought by a representative of the affected group, which comprised of 264,170 vehicles that had been fitted with defective DPF systems. The case was decided in favour of the (representative) claimant, who received an award of damages equal to a 10 percent reduction in the value of their vehicle
Law firms in Australia have since been bringing class actions against Jaguar Land Rover for fitting their vehicles with defective DPF systems
What documents will I need to provide for the claim?
Our partner law firm may request documents that relate to any servicing or repairs that have been done to your vehicle. An example of these documents may be:
If you have not yet known of any issues with your DPF system, then that is not a problem and will not affect your claim
