Status of Claims Administration
Update April 2025: As of April 4, 2025, you can no longer submit a claim for compensation under the 2nd Auto Parts distribution. The review to determine the eligibility of all claims is complete. Minor amendments to the Distribution Protocol are being recommended to the Ontario and Quebec courts (proposed amended Distribution Protocol). Once the courts decide, payments will be issued shortly thereafter.
We appreciate your patience. Please monitor this website for updates on payments.
Who is eligible to claim?
The 2nd distribution relates to 28 cases. The affected brands and time periods vary from case to case.
To be eligible for settlement benefits in any particular action, you must have purchased and/or leased a new passenger car, sport utility vehicle, van, and/or light truck (up to 10,000 lbs) from the applicable Automaker(s) (listed in the chart below) during the relevant period.
No wrongdoing is alleged against the Automakers. They are not defendants in these class actions.
Is my vehicle being recalled?
No. The Class Action Settlements are in response to the Defendants’ alleged conspiracy to fix the price of approximately 45 automotive parts, which allegedly caused Settlement Class Members to pay too much for automotive parts and eligible brand vehicles.
How much money will I receive?
Payment will be distributed on a proportional basis, based on the value of your claim relative to the value of all approved claims. It is anticipated that all claims will receive a minimum payment of $25 per claim, NOT per vehicle.
What happens in the event of other auto parts settlements?
There will be at least one more distribution in the auto parts cases. To the extent that a future distribution relates to the same brands and years covered by this distribution, your eligibility for settlement benefits in a future distribution will depend on applying for settlement benefits in this distribution. Subject to court order, if you do not apply for settlement benefits in this distribution, you will not be entitled to settlement benefits in a future distribution.
