The lawsuit states that a number of people from different states are making the same accusation. That the trucks were utilized by Fedex for nearly 200k miles after the odometer swap is a worthwhile indicator that Fedex was complicit.

If all sales were brokered by the same 3rd party then it doesn’t help us determine culpability.

This seems to ignore that FedEx drove their altered odometers to ~200k miles.

>>WarOnP+sQ
The problem is, it's not illegal to alter your odometer and drive it yourself.

It is illegal not to report the odometer misreading in a sale. The real question is, who make the odometer change and where did the intentional or not breakdown happen on failure to report the odometer inaccuracy.

>>sunk1s+92
"it's the 3rd party's fault" is an arguably plausible excuse, it's up to FedEx to make it convincing enough (proof etc) to excuse themselves

Better stated, I think, as who knew the odometers were changed out to zero reads, before the vehicles were then driven another ~200k miles.

Trying to craft a scenario where no one at FedEx had any knowledge at all that their well used vehicles suddenly had zero miles seems like low-return effort.

For an even better question, why undertake that specific project (at scale) except to perpetrate fraud?
