Details: The Prius HID headlight settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, entitled Collado, et al. v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., that alleges Toyota failed to warn customers that the high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights on 2006 through 2009 Priuses can sporadically turn on and off while the car is being driven, creating a safety hazard.
If you ever owned or leased a 2006-2009 Toyota Prius originally factory equipped with HID headlights, you’re considered a class member of the HID settlement and eligible for benefits.
As part of the Prius HID headlight class action settlement, Toyota has agreed to extend its New Vehicle Limited Warranty to cover HID headlight repairs through the earlier of 5 years or 50,000 miles from the original date of purchase or lease. If your vehicle is outside the 5 year or 50,000 mile warranty period, but you can provide proof that the headlight problem began within 5 years or 50,000 miles, you will be entitled to warranty repairs. One example of proof would be a repair estimate done within the eligible period.
Class members may also be eligible to receive cash reimbursements for past HID headlight repairs. Reimbursements will fall into three categories:
(I) HID Electronic Control Units (ECUs). If you spent money repairing or replacing an HID electronic control unit (ECU) before March 1, 2011 you will be entitled to a full reimbursement (both parts and labor), provided you have not already received full reimbursement.
(II) HID Bulbs repaired or replaced within 5 years and 50,000 miles. If you spent money repairing or replacing the HID bulb(s) you will be entitled to full reimbursement (both parts and labor), provided you have not already received full reimbursement. Even if you repaired/replaced your HID bulbs after 5 years or 50,000 miles, you fall into this category if you can show proof that your HID headlights first started having problems within 5 years and 50,000 miles.
(III) HID Bulbs repaired or replaced after 5 years and 50,000 miles. If you spent money repairing or replacing the HID bulb(s) after either 5 years or 50,000 miles elapsed from the original purchase or lease date, you will not be automatically entitled to reimbursement, but should still submit a claim because you may still receive a full or partial settlement if you meet the factors listed on the back of the Claim Form.
To be eligible for a cash reimbursement you must submit a signed Claim Form and your repair records no later than May 30, 2011.
