The Center for Defensive Driving, a California nonprofit educator, filed a proposed consumer class action lawsuit against the Ford Motor Company in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The lawsuit concerns Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles equipped with MyFord Touch, MyLincoln Touch, or MyMercury Touch dashboard infotainment systems. The Center for Defensive Driving alleges that these dashboard interface systems have defects that could potentially affect the safety of the vehicles. The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages and “injunctive relief, requesting that Ford institute a recall or free replacement program.”
