What's This Settlement About?

A $277,000,000 class action settlement has been reached in order to settle a lawsuit against Nissan North America. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a class of indivudals who either are former or current owners and lessees of 2014-2018 model year Nissan Rogue, 2015-2018 model year Nissan Pathfinder and 2015-2018 model year Infiniti QX60 vehicles. The lawsuit alleged that the vehicles have a defective continuously variable transmission (“CVT”), which can lead to poor transmission performance or failure.

How Do I Qualify?

You are a Class Member and part of the Settlement if you purchased or leased in the United States or its territories, including Puerto Rico, one of the following vehicles equipped with a CVT transmission:

2014-2018 model year Nissan Rogue,
2015-2018 model year Nissan Pathfinder,
2015-2018 model year Infiniti QX60

What Can I Get?

You could receive one of the following benefits if the settlement is approved:

1 - Warranty Extension

Nissan will extend the terms of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for the transmission assembly (including the valve body and torque converter) and Automatic Transmission Control Unit (“ATCU”) in all Class Vehicles by twenty-four months or twenty-four thousand (24,000) miles, whichever occurs first as follows:

• For 2014-2018 model year Nissan Rogue and 2015-2018 model year Nissan Pathfinder vehicles, the original coverage of 60 months or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, will be extended to 84 months or 84,000 miles, whichever comes first.

• For 2015-2018 model year Infiniti QX60 vehicles, the original coverage of 72 months or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first, will be extended to 96 months or 94,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The Warranty Extension will be subject to the terms and conditions of the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty applicable to the Class Vehicle.

2 - Reimbursement for Replacement, or Repair

Payment for repairs already made, or repairs of the affected Transmission Assembly or ATCU. Nissan will reimburse Class Members for parts and labor actually paid by the Class Member for qualifying repairs involving the replacement of or repair to the transmission assembly or ATCU of their Class Vehicle if the work was done after the expiration of the powertrain coverage under the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty but within the mileage and time limits of the Warranty Extension.

If the replacement or repair was performed by a Nissan or Infiniti dealer, the full amount the Class Member paid will be reimbursed. If the replacement or repair was performed by a non-Nissan/Infiniti automotive repair facility, Nissan will reimburse up to $5,000 for that replacement or repair.

3 - Voucher Towards Purchase or Lease of a New Vehicle

Current and former owners of Class Vehicles who had two or more replacements or repairs to the transmission assembly (including the valve body and torque converter) or ATCU during their ownership experience (as reflected by NNA warranty records) are eligible for a Voucher in the amount of $1,000 for either a purchase or lease of a single new Nissan or Infiniti vehicle.
