William B. Shubb
A California federal jury on Thursday cleared Ford Motor Co. of all four claims in a class action alleging that a rear suspension defect in certain Focus vehicles could cause premature tire wear.
A California federal judge on Friday granted certification to a proposed class of car owners suing Ford Motor Co. over potentially hazardous tire wear resulting from a rear suspension defect in some Focus models after the Ninth Circuit in December overturned a district court's decision in favor of the automaker.
A California federal judge denied a bid for class certification on Tuesday in a suit claiming Ford Motor Co. sold Focus sedans with a rear suspension defect that caused potentially hazardous premature tire wear, saying the suit raised too many individualized questions to justify class treatment.
