The Honda and Acura Rear Brake Pad class action lawsuit settlement we told you about in April has been granted final approval. If you are a current or former owner or lessee of one the Honda or Acura vehicles listed below, you cold get a cash reimbursement of up to $125 or $150 for brake pad replacements.
The class action lawsuit settlement resolves claims that the rear brakes in late model Accords and Acura TSXs prematurely wear out more than twice as fast as they should. The unreasonable wear was due to an alleged defective design that caused excessive force to be applied to the vehicle’s rear wheels. The defective brake design has not been identified as a safety problem.
Under the class action lawsuit settlement, owners of 2008-2009 Honda Accords and 2009 Honda Acura TSXs who had the brake pads replaced and rotors resurfaced within three years of when the car was first sold or leased as a new car, or within 90 days after July 29, 2010 (whichever is later), will be reimbursed for half the cost, up to a maximum $125 for replacements using original Honda Rear Brake Pads and up to $150 for replacements using new, redesigned Honda Rear Brake Pads. The class action settlement also includes a small number of 2010 Honda Accords and some Acura TSXs that have the last six digits of the following VIN numbers:

000003

000005
000006
000007
000008

In order to receive your reimbursement for old material brake pads replaced before July 29, 2010, you must file a valid claim form within 90 days of July 29, 2010. You must also provide a receipt, repair order or other documentation for each Rear Brake Pad repair or replacement that shows the part number of the brake pads used in the repair. If you’re seeking reimbursement for new material brake pads replaced after July 29, 2010, the claim form must be mailed within 90 days of the repair.

One thought on Honda & Acura Rear Brake Pad Settlement
It is also the 2019 Honda Accords as well. Brakes wear out at less than 13K miles. I have complained to Honda Corporate they do not care. Now there is a wheel Bearing issue on this car along with a host of other issues. The entire car needs to be recalled. Honda has been dealing wit the same issues on their cars since 2010 especially on the Accord. Problem after problem. I feel unsafe in this vehicle. I used to enjoy it. Now just afraid to drive it on the freeway. Too stressful. Pretty on the outside ugly on the inside. Also recalls should be handled at any dealership. Other dealt ships only want to deal with you car unless you got it from them. That’s unfortunate as well. Especially Carson Honda
