Porsche Sunroof Defect Class Action Settlement

Porsche has reached a class action settlement to address complaints regarding defective sunroofs in several of its vehicle models. The lawsuit, filed by vehicle owners, alleges that the sunroofs in certain Porsche vehicles are prone to leaking, rattling, or detaching entirely due to improper design or manufacturing. Porsche has denied any wrongdoing but agreed to a settlement to resolve the claims and avoid prolonged litigation.

History Behind the Settlement

The lawsuit was initiated after numerous Porsche owners reported problems with their sunroofs. The allegations state that the defects can lead to water damage inside the vehicle, which could cause electrical failures, unpleasant odors, and significant repair costs. Additionally, some owners expressed concerns about the potential safety risks if the sunroof detached while driving.

The settlement resolves claims that Porsche failed to disclose these issues at the time of sale and breached warranty obligations. While Porsche denies the allegations, the settlement provides relief to eligible class members.

Which Models Are Affected?

The settlement applies to specific Porsche vehicles equipped with sunroofs that may have been affected by the alleged defect. Owners and lessees of the following models may be eligible for compensation:

  • Porsche Cayenne
  • Porsche Panamera
  • Porsche Macan

The exact eligibility criteria depend on Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs). Class members can check the settlement website to verify whether their vehicle is included.

What Owners Need to Do Next

Eligible class members must file claims by the specified deadline to receive benefits under the settlement. The settlement offers reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses related to sunroof repairs or replacements. Detailed information, including claim forms and deadlines, can be found on the settlement website.

What This Means for You

The proposed settlement in the Porsche sunroof defect case offers compensation for affected owners and lessees. However, joining the settlement limits the compensation you can receive.
