The deadline to submit a claim in a $50 million class action lawsuit over auto part price fixing is fast approaching. May 12, 2026, is the final day to apply for compensation. Lawyer Linda Visser provides details on which vehicles qualify and how to file a claim.
What is the Class Action About?
The lawsuit alleges that several auto parts manufacturers conspired to fix prices on certain parts, leading to higher costs for consumers. The $50 million settlement fund is intended to compensate those who purchased or leased eligible vehicles during the specified period.
Who is Eligible?
Eligibility depends on the vehicle make, model, and year, as well as the specific parts involved. Generally, the class includes individuals who bought or leased a new vehicle between certain dates. Visser recommends checking the official settlement website for a full list of covered vehicles.
How to File a Claim
Claims can be submitted online through the settlement administrator's portal. Claimants will need to provide proof of purchase or lease, such as a bill of sale or lease agreement. The process is straightforward and typically takes only a few minutes.
Visser emphasizes that time is running out. "If you think you might be eligible, don't wait until the last minute," she says. "Gather your documents and file as soon as possible."
