A Pennsylvania federal court recently ruled that Navistar must face a lawsuit alleging fraud and misrepresentation of its MaxxForce engines.
U.S. District Court Judge Malachy Mannion of the Middle District of Pennsylvania recently denied Navistar’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit. Navistar claimed that the allegations brought forth by Lake Ariel, Pa.-based Team Biondi are prohibited by Pennsylvania’s “gist of the action” and economic-loss doctrines. Judge Mannion disagreed. Initially filed in a Pennsylvania court of common pleas in November 2017, Team Biondi’s complaint claimed Navistar violated breach of express and implied warranty, breach of contract, fraud, fraud by nondisclosure, negligent misrepresentation and intentional misrepresentation. Those claims are based on MaxxForce engines in International trucks that had allegedly known defects.
