Settlement Approved

You are a class member if you purchased or leased a Fiat 500 vehicle (model years 2012 to 2019) with any trim line.

FCA will provide an extended warranty program, which will cover issues originating with the door handle and/or door locking mechanism of covered Fiat 500 vehicles that causes the door handles to jam and, in some cases, break or detach from the vehicle. The extended warranty program includes:

1) Door Handle Repair Program

• FCA will provide coverage to repair or replace free of charge the door handles of any vehicles affected by the Door Handle Issue at the time of their inspection.
• The door handle repair program will not cover preventative inspections or repairs.
• This coverage will be available for ten (10) years from the in-service date of the vehicle or, for a vehicle whose in-service date is already more than ten (10) years old when the present notices have been sent out, this coverage will be available until June 11, 2027 (the “Coverage Period”).
• There will be no per member limit on the number of claims that can be submitted during the Coverage Period.

2) Reimbursement Payments

• FCA will reimburse the costs previously incurred by class members to repair or replace the door handles of their vehicles, including the costs of parts, labour and taxes, as a result of the Door Handle Issue, irrespective of the repair facility where these repairs were conducted.
• Claims for reimbursement must be submitted by no later than June 11, 2027, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.
• There will be no limit on the amounts the class members may claim for reimbursement of any door handle repair costs already incurred.
• The Fonds d’aide aux actions collectives is entitled to withhold a percentage of each claim brought by Québec residents pursuant to the Regulation respecting the percentage withheld by the Fonds d’aide aux actions collectives.
