The purported defect in Cessna’s CJ4 planes causes corrosion of the metal near the windshield and cockpit side windows, requiring highly expensive repairs and rendering the aircraft unsafe for flight

The national plaintiffs law firm of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, announces an investigation into widespread reports of a corrosion defect in Cessna Citation CJ4 aircraft. The alleged defect causes corrosion of metal structural components near the windshield and cockpit side windows. Reports from owners indicate that the corrosion can be extensive, impacting the aircraft’s window frames and body components. Repairing the defect costs a minimum of several hundred thousand dollars and can take months, during which time the aircraft cannot be operated. Reportedly, all Cessna Citation CJ4 aircraft share the design or manufacturing flaw that causes this corrosion.

"This is a serious defect issue that impacts not just the integrity of the CJ4 aircraft, but poses serious flight safety risks," notes Lieff Cabraser senior partner Jonathan D. Selbin. "The economic damages caused by the corrosion and requisite repairs are enormous, and Cessna needs to be held accountable."

If you own or lease one or more of the affected Cessna aircraft, we urge you to contact an experienced defect and safety lawyer at Lieff Cabraser today about your legal rights. There is no charge for our confidential review of your case, and the information you provide will help us hold Cessna accountable for all relevant defect dangers and any attendant safety violations.
