Please Read These Instructions Carefully

Subject to certain limited exclusions, you are a person or entity eligible to register/submit a claim for a Settlement Payment if:

  1. You owned or leased, on November 10, 2021, a Volkswagen Subject Vehicle distributed for sale or lease in the United States or its territories or possessions, AND you bring or have brought your Subject Vehicle to a Volkswagen or Audi dealership for the Takata Airbag Recall Remedy; or
  2. You sold or returned, pursuant to a lease, a Volkswagen Subject Vehicle distributed for sale or lease in the United States or its territories or possessions after February 9, 2016, and before November 10, 2021.

To register/submit a claim for a Settlement Payment, you must either:

  1. Submit an electronic Registration/Claim Form online by clicking "Check Your Eligibility and Start a Registration/Claim Form” below (online registration will result in expedited processing); or
  2. Submit a completed paper Registration/Claim Form along with any required documentation by U.S. Mail, email, or other delivery method to:

Mailing Address:

Email: info@autoairbagsettlement.com

The deadline for submitting a Registration/Claim Form is as follows:

  1. If you sold or returned, pursuant to a lease, a recalled Subject Vehicle after February 9, 2016, and before November 10, 2021, you have one year from the date that the Settlement becomes final (the “Effective Date”) to submit a Registration/Claim Form.
  2. If you owned or leased a Subject Vehicle on November 10, 2021, the deadline for submitting a Registration/Claim Form is one year after the Effective Date, or one year after the date the Recall Remedy is performed on your Subject Vehicle, whichever is later, until the Final Registration/Claim Deadline is reached.

Important: No Registration/Claim Forms may be submitted after the Final Registration/Claim deadline. The Effective Date and the Final Registration/Claim deadline are not yet known, but will be posted prominently on this Settlement website when they are known.

If you are or were the registered owner or lessee of more than one Subject Vehicle, you must submit a separate Registration/Claim Form for each Subject Vehicle to obtain a separate out-of-pocket Settlement Payment for each Recall Remedy performed on each Subject Vehicle you own(ed) or lease(d). However, claims for unreimbursed expenses cannot be duplicative.

If you are filing claims on behalf of a third-party client or have a substantial amount of vehicles, please do not complete this form. Instead, send an email to info@AutoAirbagSettlement.com, with your name, contact information, and state that you would like more information on how to submit a “Fleet Claim”. One of our processing agents will respond and be in contact with you.

Capitalized terms in the Form have the same meaning as provided in the Settlement Agreement. The Long-Form Notice, also explains key terms of the Settlement, including the definition of Effective Date.

Please provide all required information (as indicated by*) to complete and submit the Registration/Claim Form, attach supporting documentation, and sign/certify the form.

Important: If your Claim is rejected for any reason, you will be notified and given an opportunity to address any deficiencies. The Settlement Special Administrator’s decisions regarding Claims for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses submitted by Class Members is final and cannot be appealed.
