Is this for issues within the last couple of model years? Because they spent a lot of money addressing EGR and Injector issues for upto '06 model year.

But I have never heard of it being classed a statute before.
Mass torts usually involve large numbers of claims that are associated with a single product.
Therefore, it would be a Mass tort case in dealing with the Volvo issue. -
Class Action and Mass Tort Lawsuits:
A class action lawsuit is a complaint filed by one party on behalf of everyone in a similar situation. Such lawsuits look at the big picture and are useful, for example, to force a company to take a legal action.
A mass tort lawsuit is different. Like class action lawsuit, a mass tort combines many legal cases into a single trial, but unlike a class action each plaintiff is treated as an individual with their own individual lawsuit. The difference between a mass tort and an individual case is that in a mass tort lawsuit many similar cases are argued together saving time and money that can be better spent preparing to make the best legal case for you. Mass torts pool legal resources from many similar cases to benefit each unique case.
