My Opinion : OPT OUT!
To be honest, class action suits get nothing for the people involved in them.
The problem with class action lawsuits is that you have a lot of people going for sum of money. If you win the suit, and once the lawyers get their share, the rest, split over the number of people in the suit means you get very little of the actual settlement.
And if Ford settles, chances are it's even less than if the suit went through, which means you get even less money. And you don't exactly get a say in the matter either.
I was included in a class action lawsuit once. I got $5 at the end of it... that's not much of a win.
If you have a beef with a company and want renumeration, file your own suit. The only people who seem to win in a class action of these types tend to be the lawyers.
