Owners and lessees of more than 705,000 GM Duramax branded diesel trucks filed a class-action lawsuit Thursday, claiming GM installed defeat devices in two models of heavy-duty trucks from 2011 to 2016.

Maybe I missed it but how would 705000 GM diesel owners/lessees know GM was doing this and his truck was polluting.

There isn't that many people that are actually involved with this "scandal." They are saying that 705000 truck owners are in on this lawsuit but what it should say is 705000 trucks could be affected by this. They never asked me to sign up for this lawsuit and I for one don't give a good gosh darn about this at all. I know my truck is using its DEF and regenerating at the same rate it always has. I know the emissions system is working all the time even in winter and when it is hot.

This nothing more than a big greedy law firm out to make a ton of money, and give the owners of these vehicles grief. In the end the owners may be offered a buy back of some type, but it is the law firm that really comes out.

Yes, VW might be cheating, and so might GM, possibly Ford and Ram just to meet the strict numbers.
It is interesting that Ram/Cummins managed to meet standards from 2003 to 2007 with just common rail electronic controlled injection, then avoided DEF until 2013. So being fair is the engine naturally cleaner, or did they figure out the cheat early?????
