Electric Powered Steering Assemblies – Millennium Scoop Canada
Auto Parts Class Action

Electric Powered Steering Assemblies

This class action alleges that the defendants unlawfully conspired to rig bids for and artificially inflate the prices of electric powered steering assemblies (“EPS Assemblies”) used in Automotive Vehicles and sold to dealers and consumers across Canada from January 1, 2005 to October 1, 2012.

EPS Assemblies link the steering wheel to the tires, and include, to the extent included in the relevant requests for quotation (“RFQs”), the column, intermediate shaft, and electric power steering electric control unit, among other parts, but do not include the steering wheel or tires.
