Berk Law is pleased to announce a nationwide class action settlement on behalf of over 2 million Honda Civic and Honda Civic Hybrid owners and lessees. Working with co-counsel from Terrell Marshall Daudt & Willie PLLC, we quickly and efficiently resolved claims that sun visors on many Honda Civics and Honda Civic Hybrids were defective, peeling apart, and impairing both the visor’s functionality as well as the driver’s ability to drive safely.
The settlement applies to all 2006-2008 Honda Civics and Honda Civic Hybrids. The following vehicles are also covered:
- 2009 Civic 2-Door:

Judge William F. Highberger in Cooper v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. No. BC448670 granted final approval of the settlement at a fairness hearing on Friday September 16, 2011 in California Superior Court in Los Angeles.
As a result of the litigation, class members will receive a warranty extension on the sun visors up to seven years from the date of purchase of the vehicle or 100,000 miles – whichever occurs first. The warranty provides for free replacement of defective sun visors at any registered Honda dealer. In addition, class members are eligible to submit claims for reimbursement from Honda for costs of past repairs to the defective visors.
To date, over 2.1 million notices of settlement have been mailed and the settlement has been met with resounding support. Only 0.0005% of class members opted out of the settlement and only 0.00002% objected to its terms. These figures were considered when Judge Highberger made his ruling approving the settlement at a September 16, 2011 fairness hearing.
