Welcome to the Informational Website for the Honda Settlement
UPDATE: The Final Registration/Claim Deadline will be August 2, 2022 for the Honda settlement.
A $605 million settlement has been proposed with Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Honda North America, Inc., American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Honda R&D Co., Ltd., Honda R&D Americas, Inc., Honda Engineering North America, Inc., Honda of America Mfg., Inc., and any and all other Honda affiliates (collectively, “Honda”). The settlement resolves claims that Honda manufactured, distributed, or sold certain vehicles containing allegedly defective inflators manufactured by Takata Corporation and TK Holdings, Inc. that allegedly could, upon deployment, rupture and expel debris or shrapnel at the driver or passenger or otherwise affect the airbag’s deployment, and that the Plaintiffs sustained economic losses as a result thereof. The Court preliminarily approved the settlement on September 19, 2017.
Honda denies and continues to deny that it has violated any law, denies liability, and denies that it engaged in any and all wrongdoing with respect to the manufacture, distribution, or sale of the Subject Vehicles. Both sides in the lawsuit agreed to a settlement in order to increase recall completion rates and to avoid the cost and risk of further litigation, with the goal of enhanced customer satisfaction.

The Honda Settlement does not involve claims for personal injury or property damage to any property other than the Subject Vehicles.
Important Note: Some vehicles included in the Settlement will be recalled at a later date and others may not require a recall. Your receipt of a Settlement Notice does not mean your vehicle is subject to a recall. Please refer to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website, www.safercar.gov, for the latest information about Takata recalls and to determine if your vehicle is subject to a recall.
