(November 28, 2007)--Ford Motor agreed Wednesday to settle class-action lawsuits covering plaintiffs in Texas and three other states that claimed its Explorers were prone to rollovers.
Attorney Kevin Roddy says the settlement applies to about one million people in California, Connecticut, Illinois and Texas.
He said the settlement will be filed in Sacramento County, Calif. Superior Court.
It will allow vehicle owners to apply for $500 vouchers to buy new Explorers or $300 vouchers to buy other Ford or Lincoln Mercury products.
The settlements apply to Explorers in model years 1991 through 2001.
Consumers will be able to apply for the vouchers through a Web site starting Monday if a Sacramento judge gives preliminary approval to the settlement.
Ford spokeswoman Kristen Kinley confirmed a settlement but declined further comment.
