Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports that certain Case IH Magnum tractors equipped with Tier 4 emissions systems experience premature DEF quality sensor failures that can reduce engine power or disable equipment during normal operation.
What Consumers Report
Owners report:
- DEF quality sensor failures occurring unexpectedly.
- Engine derates despite properly maintained emissions systems.
- Dealer diagnoses requiring replacement of DEF quality sensors.
- Multiple sensor failures over the life of the equipment.
- Expensive repair bills after warranty expiration.
- Lost productivity during planting and harvest.
- Long waits for replacement parts.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Farmers purchase premium Case IH agricultural equipment expecting dependable operation throughout demanding growing seasons. A defective DEF sensor can cause an otherwise functional tractor to limit engine performance or stop operating entirely, resulting in lost work time and expensive repairs.
Potential Claims May Include
- Product defect
- Design defect
- Breach of express warranty
- Breach of implied warranty
- Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act violations
- Consumer protection violations
- Failure to disclose known defects
