DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. on Wednesday ended an era of litigation over its Explorers when it agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit covering plaintiffs in California, Connecticut, Illinois and Texas who claimed their SUVs were prone to flip.
The owners of 1991 to 2001 Explorers said their vehicles lost value because of their perceived danger.
The settlement lets owners apply for $500 vouchers that can be used toward the purchase of new Explorers or $300 vouchers for other Ford or Lincoln Mercury products.
