Jaguar Land Rover has agreed to pay $6.7 million to resolve claims that it sold Range Rovers with defective suspensions.
The settlement will benefit current and former owners and lessees of Land Rover Range Rover vehicles from model years 2003 to 2006.
The Land Rover class action lawsuit was first filed more than six years ago. Since then, it has been fiercely litigated by both sides of the complaint.
The plaintiff claimed that certain Land Rover Range Rovers were equipped with a defective suspension system. The systems allegedly included front air springs which cracked or leaked, leading to a loss of air pressure.
As a result of the defect, vehicles were reportedly unable to travel in a straight line leaving drivers at risk of losing control of their Range Rover.
Jaguar Land Rover has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to pay $6.7 million to resolve the claims against them. A settlement was originally reached in 2017, but was denied due to concerns over Class Member definitions and compensation rates.
The amended settlement reportedly addresses these concerns, which the plaintiffs argue make it a “very good settlement.”
Under the settlement, consumers can collect up to $500 in reimbursements for out-of-pocket repair costs. The amount each Class Member can collect is limited by the age and mileage of their vehicle at the time of repairs. More information is available in the “Potential Award” section below, but the payouts range from $125 to $500.
In order to receive payment, eligible consumers need to file a valid claim and provide various documentation including proof of payment and proof of ownership.
Class Members have 90 days after the final approval hearing to submit a valid Claim Form. With the final approval hearing scheduled for Feb. 3, 2020, this gives consumers until May 3, 2020 to file a claim. The deadline for exclusion and objection is Dec. 23, 2020.
