Individual owners may be wise to seek direct legal action if they want more compensation

Eleven plaintiffs will receive $3,750 each, and another 16 will get $2,500 each. Subaru had recalled the 2017-2020 Impreza, Outback, Legacy, Forester, Ascent, BRZ, WRX models. The automaker will extend fuel pump warranty to 15 years after initial service date. Subaru will compensate owners of select 2017-2020 models with defective fuel pumps and extend warranties to 15 years. However, it’s not the owners of defective Subaru s who will walk away with the healthiest payday.

Each of the 11 plaintiffs who filed the class action lawsuit will receive $3,750, while a further 16 plaintiffs in the class action will walk away with $2,500 each. That equates to a total of $81,250 in compensation that’ll be provided to plaintiffs involved in the case. However, the lawyers are the real winners as they’ll reportedly receive an eye-watering $15.5 million for representing the plaintiffs.
