United States District Court for the Northern District of California
Case No. 16-cv-04384-JST
Notice of Settlement

PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED WHETHER YOU ACT OR DO NOT ACT.

If you purchased a 2004-2008 TL, 2005-2008 MDX, or 2007-2009 RDX Acura vehicle (“Settlement Class Vehicles”) in the states of California, Kansas, New York, and Washington before the vehicles reached 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever occurred first, you may be entitled to benefits under the Settlement. For additional information about the lawsuit and the settlement, please consult the FAQ page on this website.

Plaintiffs claim that Defendant American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (“AHM”) failed to disclose a defect in the “hands-free” calling system, HandsFreeLink™ (“HFL”), offered in 2004-2008 TL, 2005-2008 MDX, or 2007-2009 RDX Acura vehicles. Plaintiffs assert that the alleged defect caused them to suffer out-of-pocket losses and other damages. AHM expressly and vigorously denies Plaintiffs’ allegations. AHM further denies that it has engaged in any wrongdoing, and specifically denies all claims described above and asserted in the litigation. Plaintiffs and AHM (the “Parties”) have agreed to the Settlement to avoid the time, expense and uncertainties of litigation.
