Honda Motor Co. has reached a class action settlement over claims that some of its vehicles excessively burned oil, causing engine misfiring and premature spark plug degradation. If you purchased a 2008-2012 Honda Accord, 2008-2013 Honda Odyssey, 2009-2013 Honda Pilot, 2010-2011 Honda Accord Crosstour or 2012 Honda Crosstour equipped with a 6-cylinder engine with Variable Cylinder Management (“VCM-2”), you could be eligible to receive compensation for repairs or a warranty extension.
The Honda engine misfire settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit (Soto, et al. v. Honda Motor Co. Inc.) alleging that Honda manufactured more than 1.5 million defective vehicles that excessively burned oil.
Honda has denied the allegations in the class action lawsuit. The parties agree that there are no safety concerns with the vehicles named in the litigation. Honda agreed to the class action settlement in order to avoid the costs of a trial. The proposed class action settlement was preliminarily approved by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston on Oct. 9, 2013.
To receive full compensation for your vehicle repairs, Class Members must submit a valid Claim Form with a copy of an original repair invoice or receipt plus proof of payments for repairs or replacement of parts on a Settlement Class Vehicle by April 10, 2014. Class Members do not need to take any action to obtain the warranty extension, which will cover repairs for the affected vehicles within eight years of the original purchase or lease date of the vehicle, with no mileage limitation.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the Honda engine defect class action settlement include all current and former owners or lessees of one or more of the following Honda vehicles equipped with a 6-cylinder engine with Variable Cylinder Management (“VCM-2”), purchased or leased in the United States:

I purchased my 2012 pilot on march 2020, June 2022 had to get a used engine due to cylinder misfire #3, it’s not even two years later and same cylinder is misfiring and mechanics are saying another engine is needed. It’s truly unfair this is a known issue and Honda is not taking accountability. I don’t have money to keep putting in this car. How do we get this lawsuit started?
My 2009 Honda Pilot is burning and leaking oil, the Honda mechanic said I need Piston Rings. We need to start a new lawsuit against Honda. I do not have 3,000. I don’t understand if we still own the vehicle why we are not included in the original lawsuit and why isn’t there a recall on this issue with these vehicles.
I also have an internal problem wirh misfire cylinder 1 in honda crv ex-l 2.4L 4wd 2010. burns through oil and goes into limp mode.
