This makes the decision easy for me. I will object to the settlement. I've decided to choose this option for two reasons. There is a chance, albeit small, that the court will only approve a settlement that is more favorable to 986 owners. Second, even if the court approves the proposal, it isn't economically rational to sue on my own. The litigation costs would far exceed the total cost of buying an engine and installing it in my car.

I understood there was a deadline of 10 years after the in-service date. So if that is the case, then you wouldn't be entitled to anything in the event of a failure.
