Nissan Rogue, INFINITI QX56 White Paint Class Action Settlement

Owners of Nissan Rogue and INFINITI QX56 vehicles may be eligible to recover reimbursement and other benefits related to white paint peeling.

The settlement benefits individuals who purchased any white-painted Nissan Rogue produced between Jan. 11, 2013 and April 23, 2013, or any white-painted INFINITI QX56 produced between Nov. 20, 2009 and Dec. 12, 2012.

Plaintiffs in the Nissan Rogue and INFINITI QX56 class action lawsuit claimed Nissan painted their white vehicles with defective paint that resulted in peeling. Allegedly, Nissan Rogue and INFINITI QX56 owners were forced to pay out-of-pocket to repaint their vehicles when the white paint faded and then peeled.

The Nissan Rogue class action lawsuit argued that the plaintiffs and other vehicle owners would not have purchased the cars if they had known the paint would need to be replaced.

“Unlike tires, batteries, and engine oil, which need regular replacement, in modern vehicles, particularly luxury vehicles, automobile paint is expected to last the lifetime of the vehicle, such that, absent an accident, a vehicle owner reasonably would not expect to have to spend thousands of dollars to have their vehicle stripped and repainted during the ownership of the car,” the Nissan class action lawsuit alleged.

Nissan has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to resolve the claims against them in a Nissan Rogue and INFINITI QX56 class action settlement.

Under the terms of the deal, Class Members will have repainting costs covered under a four-year extended warranty. If Class Members deal with paint peeling on their vehicles and bring their vehicle to an authorized dealer, they will have some of their repaint costs covered by the defendant.

For the first two years of the warranty, 90% of repaint costs will be covered. For the final two years, 70% of repaint costs will be covered.

The settlement deal allows vehicle owners to recover reimbursement for any repainting they paid for in connection to their Nissan Rogue or INFINITI QX56 vehicles. This includes the costs of repainting the vehicle along with related expenses such as rental car fees.

Both warranty coverage and reimbursement payments are capped at $400 for Nissan Rogue repaints and $600 for INFINITI QX56 repaints.

In order to receive reimbursement from the Nissan Rogue and INFINITI QX56 class action settlement, Class Members must file a claim by Jan. 10, 2021. There are separate reimbursement pages for eligible owners of Nissan and INFINITI vehicles. Claim forms are also available on the settlement website to be printed and mailed to the settlement administrator.

Class Members had until Nov. 29, 2019, to object to the settlement or exclude themselves. The final approval hearing for the Nissan Rogue and INFINITI QX56 class action settlement was held Dec. 19, 2019.
