EyeSightSettlement.com is the official settlement administration website for a class action involving certain Subaru vehicles with EyeSight driver-assistance features.
What is EyeSightSettlement.com about?
The EyeSight settlement website explains the case called Sampson, et al. v. Subaru of America, Inc., filed in federal court in New Jersey.
The lawsuit claimed that some Subaru EyeSight systems had problems with Pre-Collision Braking, Rear Automatic Braking, or Lane Keep Assist.
Subaru denies those claims and says the EyeSight systems were properly designed, made, sold, and covered by warranty.
The court did not decide that Subaru did anything wrong because the two sides reached a settlement instead.
The court gave final approval to the settlement in November 2025.
Which Subaru vehicles can be included?
The settlement covers only certain VINs from several Subaru models sold or leased in the continental United States.
The model groups include certain Legacy, Outback, Impreza, Crosstrek, Forester, Ascent, WRX, and BRZ vehicles from model years ranging from 2013 through 2024.
A model and year alone do not prove that a car is included.
Owners should use the official VIN Lookup Portal because the settlement class is based on specific vehicle identification numbers.
This VIN rule is important because two cars with the same model year may not have the same settlement status.
What benefits does the settlement provide?
One benefit is an extended warranty that can cover 75% of the cost of a qualifying EyeSight repair at an authorized Subaru retailer.
A covered repair must involve a confirmed problem with an eligible EyeSight feature caused by the EyeSight camera assembly or rear sonar sensors.
The warranty period is generally limited to four years or 48,000 miles from the vehicle's in-service date, whichever happens first.
Vehicles whose normal settlement warranty period had already expired on July 29, 2025 received a special four-month time extension from that date.
That special period has now ended, so current owners should check their own in-service date, mileage, VIN, and repair details instead of assuming coverage still exists.
Can owners still file a reimbursement claim?
No new reimbursement claims can be filed because the claim deadline was September 27, 2025.
The reimbursement program was designed for eligible people who had already paid for a qualifying EyeSight repair before July 29, 2025.
A valid claim could reimburse 75% of the paid parts and labor cost for one qualifying covered repair.
People who submitted claims on time can check the settlement FAQ for payment and claim-status rules.
The FAQ says an approved reimbursement is mailed within 150 days after the later of the completed claim's receipt or the settlement's effective date.
What dates matter now?
The official Key Dates page lists December 30, 2025 as the settlement's effective date.
The deadlines to object, leave the class, file a reimbursement claim, and attend the final fairness process have all passed.
This means the website is now more useful for checking eligibility, understanding warranty benefits, reading court records, and following an existing claim.
Is this really a $2.5 million settlement?
Calling the whole deal a "$2.5 million settlement" can give readers the wrong idea.
The official FAQ says class counsel asked for attorney fees, costs, and expenses of no more than a combined $2.5 million.
The benefits for vehicle owners are described separately as repair reimbursements and warranty coverage rather than shares of one simple $2.5 million cash fund.
That distinction matters when estimating what an individual owner may receive.
Why does the EyeSight issue matter?
Subaru describes EyeSight Driver Assist Technology as a safety system that watches traffic, helps with lane position, and can apply the brakes when danger is detected.
These features can affect how a car reacts during everyday driving, which explains why the lawsuit focused closely on how they were said to work.
The settlement does not prove that every EyeSight system is defective, and it does not mean every EyeSight repair is covered.
How can someone verify the details?
The safest starting point is the settlement administrator's own information rather than social media posts or settlement-list websites.
The Important Documents page contains the complaints, settlement agreement, notices, approval orders, claim material, and other court documents.
Owners with an existing claim or a question about coverage can also contact the settlement administrator using the phone, email, and mailing information published on the official site.
For most visitors today, the key questions are simple: check the VIN, check the warranty window, and check the status of any claim that was filed before the deadline.
