Proof Required?
Hyundai and Kia have agreed to pay $62.1 million to settle a class action lawsuit over defective airbag control units. The lawsuit claims that certain Hyundai and Kia vehicles were equipped with faulty ZF-TRW airbag control units (ACUs) that could malfunction and prevent airbags from deploying properly during a crash — a serious safety concern for drivers and passengers alike. If you owned or leased an affected Hyundai or Kia vehicle, you may be entitled to receive up to $350 from this settlement. You don't need to have been in an accident to qualify — simply owning one of the affected vehicles during the covered period may be enough to file a claim. The deadline to file a claim is April 8, 2027, so there's plenty of time to check your eligibility and submit your claim. Class Action Buddy can walk you through the entire process in just a few minutes.

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 ZF-TRW airbag control unit (ACU)
  • Your vehicle was purchased or leased during the eligible time period covered by the settlement (check the official settlement site for specific model years)
  • You are a U.S. resident who purchased or leased an eligible vehicle in the United States
  • You did not previously receive compensation for the same airbag defect issue through another legal action or settlement

How Much Can You Get?

Eligible claimants can receive up to $350 depending on their specific situation and the vehicle(s) they owned or leased. The total settlement fund is $62.1 million, which will be distributed among all valid claimants. The exact amount you receive may vary based on factors such as how many claims are filed and the specifics of your ownership — but up to $350 per claim is the reported maximum payout. Payments are typically issued after the settlement receives final court approval and the claims period closes. Since the deadline isn't until April 8, 2027, final payouts will likely be distributed sometime after that date.

How to File Your Claim

Filing your claim is quick and easy:

  • Confirm you owned or leased an eligible Hyundai or Kia vehicle with a ZF-TRW airbag control unit
  • Gather any documentation related to your vehicle, such as your vehicle identification number (VIN), purchase or lease agreement, or registration records — proof requirements are not yet fully confirmed, so having these handy is a smart move
  • Visit the official settlement website to verify your vehicle's eligibility using your VIN
  • Complete and submit the official claim form before the April 8, 2027 deadline
  • Download Class Action Buddy to track your claim status, get deadline reminders, and discover other settlements you may qualify for
