Summary

A class action lawsuit against Hyundai Motor America (“HMA”) alleges that certain Hyundai vehicles (“Class Vehicles”) were manufactured, marketed, sold, and/or leased with an engine defect that can result in sudden engine seizure, stalling, engine failure, and in some circumstances, engine fire, and that some owners and lessees of Class Vehicles have been improperly denied repairs under warranty. Neither HMA nor Hyundai Motor Company have been found liable for any of the claims alleged in the lawsuit. The parties have instead reached a voluntary settlement (the “Settlement”) to avoid lengthy litigation and to provide owners of Class Vehicles certain benefits.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 3,883 complaints in the engine category.
