Hyundai and Kia airbag settlement: up to $350, open until April 2027
By ClaimBridge Team
If you own or leased — now or in the past — a 2010–2023 Hyundai or Kia equipped with a ZF-TRW airbag control unit, you can claim up to $350 from a $62.1 million settlement. Unlike many defect cases, every class member with a valid claim receives a payment: you don't need to show any out-of-pocket loss.
What this settlement is about
This settlement resolves claims in the ZF-TRW Airbag Control Units MDL against Hyundai, Kia and parts maker Mobis. The airbag control units were allegedly vulnerable to electrical overstress that could prevent airbags from deploying in a crash. Final approval was granted October 8, 2025 — this one is real, approved, and paying.
How much you can get
Up to $350 for recalled vehicles and up to $150 for non-recalled covered vehicles. The official site's VIN lookup (acusettlement.com) confirms whether your vehicle qualifies and which tier applies.
How to file
Claims are open until April 8, 2027 — one of the longest windows on our board, but the VIN lookup takes a minute, so there's no reason to wait. ClaimBridge lays out what registering takes and readies your registration; the VIN lookup itself is on the administrator's own site, and you keep 100% of the payout. The official settlement site is acusettlement.com. Former owners and lessees qualify.
