I'm surprised they didn't get caught sooner. If it was _just_ an odometer rollback, it should have been easy to catch something being 'off' from a cursory inspection of the vehicle. The wear on things like driver seat bolsters is very different at 100K miles and 400K miles (and even at much lower mileage) and when stuff like that doesn't match the odometer readings, alarm bells should be going off.

Note that the lawsuit was filed back in 2017, so it seems to have been working its way through the legal system for a few years at this point.

That's actually a seperate lawsuit, unrelated to the class action in the headline.

The original plaintiff in the 2017 lawsuit popped into the comments section of the parent article, and did quite an amusing "AMA" sort of thing there. He makes a great point by saying something like "I filed this lawsuit in 2017, which means they were made aware of this practice 6 years they're doing this, and are apparently still doing it."

Interesting that the top comment on this thread now is cautioning skepticism on the claims.
