Keller Rohrback is pleased to announce that Judge Terrance Berg of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan has granted Preliminary Approval of the Class Action Settlement and appointed Proposed Class Counsel in the In re Chevrolet Bolt EV Battery Litigation.
The Order, among other dates, sets deadlines for the Class Notice Program to begin, to file claims, and for the Final Approval Hearing, currently set for March 25, 2025. Any changes to these dates will be presented on the Settlement Website, which will be published shortly.
The Settlement, which covers 2017-2022 Chevrolet Bolt vehicles that were shipped to a dealer on or before August 19, 2021, provides $150 million for 1) Cash payments to Class Members who file approved claims, 2) Service Award Payments made to Class Representatives who brought the action on behalf of the Class as a whole, 3) Costs relating to Settlement Administration, and 4) Fees and Expenses incurred by Class Counsel during the 4+ years of litigation.
In addition to cash distributions, Class Members should be aware that there are recall remedies for their vehicles, and the Settlement Agreement takes these remedies into account. Class Members with eligible vehicles will receive either the “Battery Replacement Final Remedy,” meaning a battery replacement under which Defendants have made available battery replacements for approximately 87,000 of the Class Vehicles, or the “Software Final Remedy” meaning the installation of advanced diagnostic software in approximately 22,560 model year 2020-2022 Bolt vehicles. More information about both of these remedies can be found in the Settlement Agreement or on the Settlement Website.
Gretchen Freeman Cappio, a partner at Keller Rohrback stated “Plaintiffs are pleased that notice will be distributed shortly to purchasers and lessees of 2017-22 model year Chevy Bolts, and we look forward to taking the next steps in delivering this important relief to consumers.”
