Coffeng et al. v. VWGoA
Welcome to the Information Website for the Engine Water Pump Settlement
On October 15, 2020, the Court entered an order extending to February 10, 2021 the deadline for the Settlement Administrator to complete processing and review of all Claims and to issue payments for complete Claims that are approved for payment. This extension was necessitated by unanticipated delays in mail delivery and the ability of the Settlement Administrator to process Claims, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The delay occurred through no fault of the parties or their counsel. The Settlement Administrator is working diligently to process and review the Claims. If you have any questions about the status of your Claim, please feel free to contact the Settlement Administrator at 877-363-7829.
