The document discusses the requirements for class certification under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23. It outlines the criteria of numerosity, commonality, and typicality that must be met for a class action to proceed. The court finds that the numerosity requirement is satisfied with 186,031 class members. Commonality is established as all class vehicles had the allegedly defective timing chain tensioner. Typicality is assessed based on the alignment of named plaintiffs' incentives with those of absent class members.
