A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Nissan North America, Inc. (“NNA”), regarding the Continuously Variable Transmissions (“CVTs”) in model year 2013–2017 Nissan Juke vehicles. NNA denies it engaged in any wrongdoing. The Court did not rule in favor of either party.

On March 6, 2020, the Court held the Final Fairness Hearing in this case. The Court entered a written Order approving the proposed class action settlement on March 10, 2020. The Order is posted here. The Settlement is not yet effective. This website will be updated with further developments.

You may be included in the Settlement if you purchased or leased a 2013 – 2017 Nissan Juke Vehicle equipped with a CVT in the United States or its territories including Puerto Rico (“Class Vehicles”). Persons included in the Settlement are called “Class Members.” This page contains a summary of the key benefits of the Settlement, important dates, and your rights and options. Additional details of the Settlement and your rights and options are included in the Notice.  Your legal rights are affected whether or not you act.

IMPORTANT DATES Claims Deadline: (January 30, 2020, or 30 days after a qualifying transmission repair, whichever is later) Opt-Out/Objection Deadline: (February 7, 2020)  Final Approval Hearing: (March 6, 2020)

WARRANTY EXTENSION

The Settlement provides an extension of the Nissan New Vehicle Limited Warranty on your Class Vehicle’s transmission from 60 months / 60,000 miles to 84 months / 84,000 miles (whichever occurs first) (the “Warranty Extension”).

REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENTS

SUBMIT A CLAIM

NNA will reimburse Class Members 100% of the amount they actually paid for parts and labor to an authorized Nissan dealer (or up to $5,000 paid to a non-NNA repair facility) for:

• Qualifying transmission repairs made to their Class Vehicle, if the work was done within the time and mileage limits of the Warranty Extension.
• Qualifying transmission repairs made prior to their Class Vehicle’s odometer exceeding 90,000 or January 30, 2020, whichever occurs first, if they submit appropriate documentation establishing that a Nissan dealer diagnosed and recommended a qualifying transmission repair within the time and mileage limits of the Warranty Extension.

To receive a reimbursement payment, you must complete and submit a claim form on or before January 30, 2020, along with appropriate documentation of the repairs for which you are seeking reimbursement.

Please note that this Settlement is subject to final approval by the court and, if appeals are filed, all such appeals are either dismissed or resolved in favor of approval of the Settlement.

These rights and choices—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in more detail in the Notice, which can be found on the “Class Notice” tab of this website. The Court in charge of this Action has preliminarily approved the Settlement and must decide whether to give final approval to the Settlement. The relief provided to Class Members will be provided only if the Court gives final approval to the Settlement and, if there are any appeals, all such appeals are either dismissed or resolved in favor of approval of the Settlement.
