About this settlement

Status

Open for claims. The claim filing deadline is April 8, 2027. The court gave final approval in October 2025.

Summary

In re: ZF-TRW Airbag Control Units Products Liability Litigation (Case No. 2:19-ml-02905-JAK-JPR, U.S. District Court for the Central District of California) says certain Hyundai and Kia vehicles carry ZF-TRW airbag control units that are vulnerable to electrical overstress, which could keep the airbags and other safety systems from working in a crash. Hyundai and Kia deny wrongdoing and agreed to pay $62.1 million to resolve the case.

Who Is Included

Individuals and entities who, as of April 14, 2025, owned or leased (or had previously owned or leased) one of the covered Hyundai or Kia vehicles that was originally sold or leased in the United States or its territories. You can confirm your vehicle with the VIN lookup on the settlement website.

What You Could Receive

Reimbursement of reasonable recall-related costs for recalled vehicles, such as a rental car, towing, childcare, lost wages or repairs to the control unit. Documents are required, but a signed statement is accepted if you have no receipts.
A residual payment of up to $350 for a recalled vehicle or up to $150 for an unrecalled one. The final amount depends on the number of valid claims and the money left.
A 10-year warranty on new parts installed under the recall, counted from April 14, 2025.
Inspection and outreach programs to raise recall completion, and loaner or rental vehicle support during recall repairs.
