Class action lawsuits can results in plaintiffs making a claim from a couple of hundred dollars to thousands. The amount you receive in large litigations such as these depends entirely on the severity of the allegation the defendant has been accused of, the number of claims which are made, and what the agreed upon settlement between plaintiffs and defendants is. Recently, Mazda had finally reached a settlement with plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit, where you can qualify to make your claim today.
Class action lawsuits hold large entities accountable
A class action lawsuit is a unique case of litigation whereby instead of one individual pursuing legal action against a defendant, a group of individuals who have experienced a similar injustice form a ‘class’ and seek legal action together. In this way, they draw upon their collective power by combining resources and evidence in order to bring legal justice against a defendant– usually a large corporation or entity.
When these litigations occur, it can result in not only large settlements for plaintiffs in order to compensate them for the damages they have incurred, but it also often results in the defendant changing their policies and strategies in order to prevent such injustice occurring again. The publicity of these litigations means that entities are held accountable in the public eye instead of the damage being swept under the radar.
These drivers can claim up to $1,750
As of late, many class action lawsuits which have been reported on have been regarding data breach litigation cases. In an age which is dominated by the world going online, companies have a responsibility to protect sensitive client data from being subjected to cyberattacks and data breaches. When they fail to uphold this, it can result in large settlements and compensations for plaintiffs due to the financial fraud and identity theft which can occur when this information is compromised.
However, Mazda drivers have recently reached a settlement for a litigation case with the Japanese automobile manufacturer not over a data breach, but to resolve claims regarding the Mazda Connect infotainment system is defective and causes technical glitches. While Mazda has not admitted to any wrongdoing, they have agreed to settle with plaintiffs.
The settlement benefits current and former Mazda car owners and leasers of the following vehicle models:
- Mazda2 (2016-2022)
- Mazda3 (2014-2018)
- Mazda6 (2016-2021)
- Mazda CX-3 (2016-2021)
- Mazda CX-5 (2016-2020)
- Mazda CX-9 (2016-2020)
- Mazda MX-5 (2016-2023)
As part of the settlement, plaintiffs will receive 24-month limited warranty extension for their Mazda vehicles to cover software updates, repairs and replacements of the connectivity master unit. In addition, members can claim reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses related to the Mazda Connect infotainment system worth up to $1,750 per vehicle.

The deadline to submit a valid claim to receive compensation from the litigation is August 1 2025. To submit a valid claim, plaintiffs must submit evidence that they are or were an owner or leaser of the eligible vehicles as well as provide an original invoice, legible photocopy thereof, or other records, including third-party receipts, invoices and repair orders or bills relating to fixing their Mazda Connect system.
The final hearing is scheduled for July 28 2025. In addition to the Mazda settlement, other class action litigations scheduled to be wrapping up this month include a settlement between WellNow Urgent Care with plaintiffs over a data breach.

Disclaimer: You should not submit false or inflated claims under penalty of perjury, as class‑action claim forms historically required declarations signed “under penalty of perjury” to ensure authenticity. Submitting a fraudulent claim not only carries legal exposure—including potential civil and criminal sanctions—but also harms other eligible class members by diluting the available settlement pool.
