| If You Have Ever Owned Or Leased A 1999-2006 Model Year BMW 3 Series Vehicle, You May Be Entitled To Class
Action Settlement Benefits. |
| Under the terms of a proposed class action settlement, class members may present their 1999-2006 Model Year BMW 3 Series vehicles to an authorized BMW dealership for inspection and, if needed, repair of the vehicle’s sub-frame. Class members may also be entitled to reimbursement of sub-frame repair expenses that they previously incurred.
|
|
| What is this about? |
| A federal lawsuit claims that 1999-2006 Model Year BMW 3 Series vehicles have defects that cause fractures to occur in the rear-axle supports in the vehicle’s sub-frame. BMW denies all charges of wrongdoing made against it in the lawsuit.
|
|
| What benefits are provided under the settlement? |
| If your vehicle is covered by the settlement, you will be able to participate in a National Sub-Frame Inspection and Repair Program. If you have already incurred out-of-pocket-expenses for sub-frame repairs, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement from BMW by submitting a claim form.
|
| Who and what vehicles are covered? |
| You may be able to receive benefits under the settlement if you are a United States resident who currently owns or leases a 1999-2006 Model Year BMW 3 Series vehicle, or formerly owned or leased a 1999-2006 Model Year BMW 3 Series vehicle and paid for repairs of the vehicle’s sub-frame.
