U.S. cell users who got a prerecorded or artificial-voice call from Motive between Nov 2020 and Apr 2026 can claim a $50 product voucher — no proof — by July 6, 2026.
What Is This Settlement About?
Motive Technologies, Inc. — the fleet-management company known for its AI dash cams and vehicle GPS tracking products — agreed to a class action settlement valued at roughly $21.4 million to resolve claims that it made illegal marketing calls. The lawsuit, Balboa v. Motive Technologies, Inc., alleged that Motive placed calls to consumers' cell phones using a prerecorded or artificial voice message without the prior express consent the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) requires.Motive denies any wrongdoing and admits no liability. It agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. The court granted preliminary approval to the settlement on April 3, 2026, which opened the claim period for eligible class members. For background on how these cases work, see our guide to the TCPA and robocall class actions.
Who Qualifies?
You are a class member if you are in the United States and, between November 26, 2020 and April 3, 2026, you received one or more calls to your cell phone that used a prerecorded or artificial voice message from or on behalf of Motive Technologies. The parties estimate the class includes roughly 414,374 people. The class is drawn from Motive's own calling records, so you do not need to remember the exact date of a call to be covered. If your name and number appeared in those records, you may have received a postcard notice — but you can still qualify even if you never got one, as long as your cell number is in the records.How Much Can You Get?
Each class member who submits a timely, valid claim is eligible for a $50 product voucher that can be redeemed for any products or services purchased from Motive Technologies' website. The settlement allows one claim per class member per telephone number. The voucher is delivered by email to the address you provide on the claim form after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.How to File a Claim
You can file online or by mailing a paper claim form to the settlement administrator. To file, you provide your name and the cell phone number that received the calls. No Class Member ID, receipts, or other documentation are required — the class is identified from Motive's own call records. If you believe you received a covered call but did not get a postcard notice, you can still file as long as your number appears in those records. The deadline to file online or by mail is 11:59 p.m. EST on July 6, 2026.File through the official settlement website: DashCamCallingSettlement.com.
Key Deadlines
The deadline to submit a claim — and the deadline to exclude yourself from or object to the settlement — is July 6, 2026. The court has scheduled the final approval hearing for August 10, 2026. If you do nothing, you remain in the class and give up your right to sue Motive separately over these calls, but you will not receive a voucher unless you file a claim.Avoid Settlement Scams
The settlement administrator will never ask you to pay a fee to receive your voucher. File only through the official, court-authorized website. Ignore texts, emails, or callers demanding payment, banking logins, or a Social Security number in exchange for a "settlement payout" — those are not part of this settlement.Frequently Asked Questions
