People have short memories,Ford was fined a huge amount,one of the biggest fines in Aus corporate history and had to give thousands of people new cars.Their issue was not emissions related,more to do with unconsciable conduct and lying to customers.

Did it make any difference to their sales?
I doubt it.
I don’t know about Ford at the time,but Toyota sales seem to continue to boom,at the moment,so one would think these class actions make very little difference to sales numbers.

To be fair, probably all vehicle manufacturers had issues with DPF's.

Maybe depends if a DPF was an 'afterthought' or just 'after the turbocharger' aka Isuzu.
