Porsche Settlement for Alleged Sunroof Leaks Class Action Lawsuit
Porsche settles Class Action Lawsuit over Sunroof Leaks
Porsche Cars North America has reached a settlement in a class action lawsuit concerning reported sunroof leaks in certain vehicle models. The alleged defect caused water to seep into the interior, leading to damages for affected owners.
The settlement applies to individuals and entities who purchased or leased specific Porsche models between 2014 and 2023 with sunroofs. These class vehicles were imported for sale or lease in the United States by authorized Porsche dealers.
To participate in the settlement, affected individuals can file a claim form to request reimbursement for repair and replacement costs incurred due to the sunroof defect before November 6, 2024. The deadline to submit claim forms by mail is February 4, 2025.
Claims can cover costs associated with repairing or replacing sunroofs that leaked water, causing damage to seats, carpet, floor mats, ceiling, or electrical components. Valid claims may receive payments to cover a percentage of repair costs, and documentation of expenses must be provided.
Additionally, Porsche has agreed to extend its new car limited warranty to cover a percentage of repair costs for class vehicles for up to six years or 80,000 miles, starting from the vehicle’s initial in-service date. The percentage of coverage will depend on the age and mileage of the vehicle at the time of repair.
As part of the settlement, class members are entitled to a free sunroof drain cleaning at authorized Porsche dealers for a period of nine years or 90,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service date.
The settlement is pending final approval from the court, with a hearing scheduled for March 27, 2025. Once the settlement is finalized, valid claims will receive reimbursement by mail.
The lawsuit was initially filed in September 2022, alleging that certain vehicles had defective sunroof draining systems that led to water leaks and damages.
