Class Action Lawsuit (Accord rear brakes)

In the next several days, a class action lawsuit will be announced pertaining to the rear brake pads on 2008 - 2010 Honda Accords. Owners of affected models will receive information pertaining to this lawsuit in the mail. The lawsuit will enable customers who have paid for replacement of the rear brake pads on affected vehicles, with less than 36,000 miles at the time of replacement, to apply for a refund of up to 150.00. Dealers will no longer be permitted to replace the brake pads as a goodwill gesture.

It is worth noting that the total cost associated with replacement of the rear brake pads usually exceeds 150.00, leaving affected customers to absorb the difference. If you are planning on applying for the refund, check with your dealer to determine how they will be handling the difference. Some dealers might be offering credits and or refunds while others will be offering nothing
at all.
