Proposed class action settlement for Honda CR-V and Civic vehicles with the 1.5L turbocharged engine |
A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit filed against Honda Canada over a condition involving engine oil dilution by gasoline in some CR-V and Civic automobiles. Honda's offer is set out in the settlement agreement. The agreement, which was negotiated in Ontario to apply across Canada, is based on a product improvement notice Honda Canada sent to owners and lessees of the 2017-2018 CR-V and 2016-2018 Civic in November 2018
The Skye v. Honda North America, Inc. class action alleges that certain Honda vehicles are susceptible to an engine failure resulting from engine oil dilution. Honda denied the allegations in the lawsuit, and the court did not rule in favor of either party. The settlement is being presented to the court for approval in March 2021.
