Not sure how much experience any of you have with class action litigation. But the purpose of these lawsuits it to compel the defendant corporation (in this case, Ford) to make the affected class whole. To anyone but the attorneys, it's never about the money. In our case it's about forcing Ford to replace the defective HVBJB (contactors) with new hardware rather than simply apply a software "patch" that reduces the performance of our cars.
Anyone of us who owns an affected car surely wants the same thing. Maybe Ford will replace the defective hardware under warranty anyway, we just don't know. With the class action suit pending, perhaps Ford will be more likely to apply the proper fix to our cars to avoid an adverse outcome of the litigation.
The easiest way for Ford to get the lawsuit dismissed is to amend the recall and order replacement of all defective contactors (HVBJB). I suspect that's exactly what will happen. And we'll all be happy if it does.
