Class Action Settlement for Honda and Acura Owners

In Birmingham, Alabama, a preliminary settlement proposal has been authorized by a court in a class action lawsuit against American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Denso International America, Inc., related to specific Honda and Acura vehicles equipped with low-pressure fuel pumps manufactured by Denso. If you own, leased, or previously owned either of these vehicles, you may be eligible for various benefits stemming from this agreement.

Who's Included?

This class action spans all individuals or entities who owned, purchased, or leased the affected vehicles at any time after the preliminary approval order. This includes residents of all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To discover if your vehicle falls under this settlement, an online VIN lookup tool is accessible at HondaFuelPumpsSettlement.com.

What Does the Agreement Provide?

Should the final approval from the court be granted, eligible class members may gain access to the following benefits:

1. Limited Warranty: Honda will extend a Limited Warranty on low-pressure fuel pump repairs for a duration of 15 years from the original sale date, or until the vehicle reaches 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first. For those whose vehicles exceed either limit by the time of the settlement approval, the warranty will last for 90 days, extending coverage for any fuel pumps replaced in that period by Honda’s one-year warranty for original parts.

2. Loaner and Towing Program: Owners of the affected vehicles undergoing repairs will be entitled to a complimentary loaner vehicle, assuming a reasonable notice is provided to local dealers. Should the vehicle be inoperable or pose a safety risk due to the fuel pump, free towing services to a Honda dealer will also be offered.

3. Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Owners can reclaim reasonable expenses incurred for past repairs or replacements of low-pressure fuel pumps. They can file a claim via an online form or through traditional mail, with documentation of all expenses.

Claim Process

The claims form should be submitted within 90 days of the court's final order if the agreement receives approval. The exact deadline for submission will be published on HondaFuelPumpsSettlement.com if the agreement is validated.

Additional Options

Class members have choices to consider:

• - Opt-Out: You can exclude yourself from the settlement by submitting a request postmarked no later than January 16, 2027. This will prevent you from being bound by the settlement.
• - Object: If you do not wish to exclude yourself but have concerns, you may submit an objection to the settlement by the same deadline.
• - Take No Action: By not opting out or objecting, you agree to be legally bound by the settlement terms but will not receive any compensation unless a claim form is submitted.

Final Approval Hearing

A Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for February 18, 2027. During this hearing, the court will decide whether to approve the settlement, including attorney fees of up to $16,000,000 and compensation for class representatives of up to $5,000 each. Class members or their legal representatives are permitted to attend but are not required to do so.
