If you bought or leased certain Hyundai vehicles before Nov. 2, 2012 can claim into the Hyundai MPG Class Action Settlement on HyundaiMPGClassSettlement.com.
If you bought or leased 2011, 2012 and 2013 model year Hyundai vehicles, then you may be eligible to receive reimbursement from the Hyundai MPG Class Action Settlement. Hyundai Motor America and Hyundai Motor Company have agreed to settle the class action lawsuits over MPG (Miles Per Gallon) claims. Class members have to submit a claim form for receiving cash payment or other benefits from the settlement.
A number of class action lawsuits were filed against Hyundai Motor America (HMA) after it issued a statement on November 2, 2012, that it was voluntarily decreasing the fuel economy ratings of vehicles. Plaintiffs claim that before November 2, 2012, Hyundai misrepresented the fuel economy ratings or miles per gallon of their certain 2011, 2012 and 2013 model year vehicles.
They also claimed that they would not have bought the vehicles if they know this before. According to Plaintiffs, the Lifetime Reimbursement Program instituted by HMA is not enough to compensate affected vehicle owners. HMA refused these claims but ready to end these lawsuits to avoid further expenses of ongoing proceedings.
Current/former owner or lessee of vehicles included in the settlement on or before Nov. 2, 2012 are the class members of the settlement. Rental Fleet Owners, government entities (excluding the extent that a government entity is the owner or lessee of a Fleet Class Vehicle), judges assigned to the lawsuit and individuals who have already executed a release of Hyundai for claims concerning the fuel economy of a Class Vehicle are not eligible for benefits from the settlement.
Class members who submit a valid claim can choose one of the two options: Lump Sum Payment or Lifetime Reimbursement Program.
1. Lump Sum Payment: Class members will get the lump sum payment on the basis of the year and model of the Hyundai vehicle they owned or leased. Each Class Member can receive up to $353 cash payment.
Class Members can select the following lump sum payment options:
Hyundai will provide additional compensation of $100 per vehicle to current original owners and certain former owners of Elantra, Accent, Veloster and Sonata Hybrid Class Vehicles as well as $50 per vehicle to current lessees and current fleet owners of Elantra, Accent, Veloster and Sonata Hybrid Class Vehicles.
