Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You currently own or previously owned a Hyundai or Kia vehicle equipped with a defective airbag control unit (ACU)
- Your vehicle is one of the covered makes and models listed in the settlement (check the official settlement site at acusettlement.com for the full vehicle list)
- You purchased or leased your vehicle in the United States during the applicable time period
- You have documentation showing vehicle ownership, such as a title, registration, or lease agreement
How Much Can You Get?
Eligible claimants may receive up to $350 depending on the type of claim they submit and the number of valid claims filed overall. Because this is a class action settlement, the actual amount each person receives can vary — if a large number of people file valid claims, individual payouts may be lower than the stated maximum. The total settlement fund is $62.1 million, which will be distributed among all eligible claimants after administrative costs and attorney fees are deducted. Filing as early as possible and providing complete documentation gives your claim the best chance of being processed smoothly.How to File Your Claim

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deadline to file a claim for the $62.1M Hyundai and Kia airbag class action settlement?
The current deadline to file a claim is Mar 29, 2027. Claims sent by mail must be postmarked by this date, so allow about a week for delivery if you are not filing online.
How much can I receive from the $62.1M Hyundai and Kia airbag class action settlement?
The maximum payout per eligible claimant is up to $350. Actual payments may be lower depending on the total number of valid claims filed and the available settlement fund.
Do I need documentation for the $62.1M Hyundai and Kia airbag class action settlement?
Yes — this settlement requires supporting documentation, and what counts is set out on the official claim form rather than being the same in every case: a consumer case may ask for receipts or order confirmations, while a financial or data-breach case usually turns on account records or the notice the administrator sent you. Note: some settlements still require a Claimant ID or PIN from a mailed notice; if this one does, it will be shown on the official claim form.
How do I file a claim for the $62.1M Hyundai and Kia airbag class action settlement?
File directly with the settlement administrator, using the official claim form linked on this page. Class Action Buddy does not support this settlement in the app, so the administrator’s own claim process is the route. Check whether the form asks for an ID or PIN from the notice you were sent before you start.
Which Hyundai and Kia vehicles are included in the airbag settlement?
The settlement covers certain Hyundai and Kia vehicles equipped with defective airbag control units (ACUs). The full list of eligible makes, models, and model years is available on the official settlement website at acusettlement.com. We recommend checking there directly to confirm whether your specific vehicle qualifies.
Do I need to have been in an accident to file a claim?
No — you do not need to have been in a crash to be eligible. The lawsuit is about owning or leasing a vehicle with a defective airbag control unit, not about whether the airbag actually failed during an accident. Simply owning or leasing a covered vehicle during the relevant period may make you eligible for compensation.
What documents do I need to file a Hyundai Kia airbag settlement claim?
You will likely need proof of vehicle ownership or lease, such as your vehicle title, registration, or lease agreement. Any repair records or paperwork related to an airbag recall may also strengthen your claim. Be sure to review the claim form at acusettlement.com for the complete list of required documentation.
