I'm not understanding your objective, OP. Do you want everyone, if interested, to file an objection by sending an email to info@imsporschesettlement.com? Or do you only want the people whom have engine failure due to IMS design flaw?

I am perhaps a little late commenting on this thread/forum, however, here is my take on the appropriate action for many of us who own a 986/996.

If you are part of the class (own/lease a 2001-2005 MY 986/996) but have >130,000 miles or 10 years after first service - you are EXCLUDED from the settlement and any future reimbursement for costs of an IMS failure.

The only way you can preserve your rights to enter into litigation with Porsche in the future is to opt out of the settlement. You may object to the settlement but my view is that the chances are "slim and none" of having a positive outcome.

I am in the situation outlined above and I plan to opt out. I am happy to reconsider if others know something about this that I fail to see.

I am going to suggest what I believe is the more pragmatic approach unless you have very deep pockets. Object to the settlement rather than opt out because, even if the chances or prevailing are slim, the settlement may change if enough people object to its proposed terms and conditions.

If you do opt out and subsequently suffer IMS caused damages, you will have to sue on your own because the court will not allow another class action suit to go forward. And, pragmatically, the legal costs to sue on your own will far exceed the cost of a new engine.
