In 2019, a class-action lawsuit was filed against CNH Industrial America for allegedly misleadingly marketing the Module Express (a piece of equipment that picks and bales cotton for farmers). The complaint, which was originally filed in January and amended in April, alleges that the company misleadingly promises that the Module Express is reliable, powerful, and the most efficient and cost-effective way to harvest cotton when, according to plaintiffs, the equipment frequently breaks down in the field and needs to be continually repaired.
