Canadians who purchased or leased a new vehicle between 1998 and 2017 may be eligible to receive a share of roughly $50 million in class-action settlement funds.
Parts include air conditioning systems, door latches, braking systems and shock absorbers, and impacted some of the world’s largest automakers.
Those who are eligible should file a claim online at autopartsettlement.ca by May 12.
While those earlier funds have already been distributed, the third and final round, valued at approximately $50 million, is now available to consumers who were not previously eligible.
Eligible claimants will receive a minimum payment of $25.
This final round consists of nine settlements, and the newly included vehicles are:
BMW/Mini Cooper – Dec 5, 2014 to May 31, 2017
Ford/Lincoln/Mercury – Aug 1, 2015 to May 31, 2017
Hyundai, Kia – Jan 1, 2007 to May 31, 2016
Mercedes-Benz/Smart – Nov 29, 2004 to May 31, 2017
Mitsubishi – Jul 1, 1998 to Jul 31, 2015
Suzuki – Jul 1, 1998 to May 31, 2016
According to the settlement website, payments may take up to a year to be distributed after the claims deadline.
The deadline for the previous round of settlements was January 2024, and Canadians received payments in August 2025.
