Kia HECU Settlement

If you bought or leased certain 2006–2021 model year Kia vehicles, you may be eligible for benefits. The only way to receive certain benefits in this Settlement is to file a Claim.

If you are an eligible Settlement Class Member, you may submit a claim for one or more of these benefits:

• Reimbursement for Rental Cars, Towing, and other repair-related expenses associated with a Qualifying Repair.
• Reimbursement for a class vehicle that was a total loss as a result of an engine compartment fire caused by the ABS Module defect.
• The deadline to file a claim for repair reimbursement was July 19, 2023, and has passed.

Please Note: The Settlement extends the relevant warranty for ABS Modules that have been repaired or replaced pursuant to an NHTSA Recall, and offers a free one-time ABS Module inspection. Settlement Class Members DO NOT need to submit a Claim Form to receive these benefits.
