Question 1

What are these lawsuits about?

Accepted Answer

The people who filed these lawsuits are called Plaintiffs, and the companies
they sued, HMC, HMA, KC, and KA, are called Defendants. The Plaintiffs allege
that the Class Vehicles suffer from a defect in their ABS modules that can
result in engine compartment fires and the loss of ABS functionality. The
Plaintiffs also allege that some owners and lessees have been improperly denied
repairs under the vehicles’ warranties. HMC, HMA, KC, and KA each deny the
Plaintiffs’ allegations.

Question 2

How do I know if I am part of the Settlement?

Accepted Answer

This Settlement includes: All owners and lessees of a Class Vehicle who
purchased or leased the Class Vehicle in the United States, and including those
that were purchased while the owner was abroad on active U.S. military duty.

However, the Class excludes (a) all claims for death, personal injury, damage to
property other than to the Class Vehicle itself, and subrogation, as well as any
claims that arise out of a future NHTSA recall; (b) HMA, HMC, KA, KC, and any
affiliate, parent, or subsidiary of HMA, HMC, KA and KC; (c) any entity in which
HMA, HMC, KA, or KC has a controlling interest; (d) any officer, director, or
employee of HMA, HMC, KA, or KC; (e) any successor or assign of HMA, HMC, KA, or
KC; (f) any judge to whom the lawsuits are assigned, his or her spouse, and all
persons within the third degree of relationship to either of them, as well as
the spouses of such persons; (g) consumers or businesses that have purchased
Class Vehicles that, prior to the time of purchase, were deemed a Total Loss
(i.e., salvage title or junkyard vehicles) (subject to verification through
Carfax or other means); (h) current or former owners of Class Vehicles who,
prior to the Notice Date, released their claims in an individual settlement with
HMA, HMC, KA, or KC with respect to the issues raised in the lawsuits; (i)
owners who purchased the Class Vehicle with knowledge of existing damage to the
ABS module (damage that does not amount to a Total Loss;  but rather, damage to
the subject components); and (j) those persons who timely and validly exclude
themselves from the Class.
