Welcome to the Beaver v. Nissan North America, Inc. Settlement Website

IF YOU PURCHASED OR LEASED A 2015-2018 MODEL YEAR NISSAN MURANO OR
2016-2018 MODEL YEAR NISSAN MAXIMA VEHICLE, YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR
BENEFITS FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.

 NATURE OF THE CASE 

This Settlement resolves a lawsuit about the continuously variable transmission (“CVT”) in 2015-2018 model year Nissan Murano and 2016-2018 model year Nissan Maxima vehicles (“Class Vehicles”). Class Vehicles do not include hybrid electric vehicles.

The Settlement will provide (1) an extension of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty applicable to the transmission for the Class Vehicles; (2) reimbursement for Class Members who paid for qualifying CVT repairs or replacements that would have been covered by the Warranty Extension; (3) a Voucher towards the purchase or lease of a new Nissan or Infiniti vehicle at an authorized Nissan or Infiniti dealer for current and former owners of Class Vehicles who qualify; and (4) an expedited resolution program through the BBB if you have future claims related to your transmission.

Your legal rights are affected whether or not you act. Please read the Notice carefully.

THE SETTLEMENT CLASS 

You are a Class Member and part of the Settlement if, prior to April 4, 2025, you purchased or leased in the United States or its territories, including Puerto Rico, a 2015-2018 model year Nissan Murano or a 2016-2018 model year Nissan Maxima vehicle equipped with a CVT.

Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (1) NNA, any entity or division in which NNA has a controlling interest, its/their legal representatives, officers, directors, assigns and successors; (2) any judge to whom this case is assigned and the judge’s clerks and any member of the judge’s immediate family and any judge of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals; and (3) government purchasers and lessees.

POSSIBLE BENEFITS OF THIS SETTLEMENT 

WARRANTY EXTENSION

Nissan will extend the term of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for the transmission assembly (including the valve body and torque converter) and Automatic Transmission Control Unit (“ATCU”) to eighty-four (84) months or eighty-four thousand (84,000) miles, whichever occurs first, as measured from the vehicle’s original start date and mileage (the “Warranty Extension”). For more information, please see FAQ 6.

REIMBURSEMENT FOR PRIOR REPAIRS

Even if the Class Vehicle is beyond the limits of the Warranty Extension as of the Effective Date of Settlement, Nissan will reimburse Class Members who previously paid for qualifying repairs to the Class Vehicle. Reimbursement will be for parts and labor actually paid by the Class Member for qualifying repairs involving the replacement of or repair to the transmission assembly or ATCU of their Class Vehicle if the work was done after the expiration of the powertrain coverage under the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty but within the mileage and time limits of the Warranty Extension (i.e., before the earlier of 84,000 miles or 84 months of service). If the replacement or repair was performed by a Nissan dealer, the full amount the Class Member paid will be reimbursed. If the repair or replacement was performed by a non-Nissan automotive repair facility, Nissan will reimburse up to $5,000 for that repair or replacement. In both cases, the replacement or repair must have occurred on or within the mileage and time limits of the Warranty Extension. If you paid for repairs on more than one occasion, you can be reimbursed for all qualifying repairs subject to the above limits. Claims for reimbursement may be made only for repairs performed before the Warranty Extension becomes effective. Once the Warranty Extension becomes effective, Class Members whose vehicles fall within the time and mileage limits of the Warranty Extension must present their vehicles to a Nissan dealer for a CVT repair or replacement under warranty. For more information, please see FAQ 8.

VOUCHER TOWARDS PURCHASE OR LEASE OF A NEW VEHICLE

Current and former owners of Class Vehicles who had two (2) or more replacements or repairs to the transmission assembly (including the valve body and torque converter) or ATCU during their ownership experience (as reflected by NNA warranty records) are eligible for a Voucher in the amount of $1,500 for either a purchase or lease of a single new Nissan or Infiniti vehicle. Prior software updates and/or reprogramming do not count as a prior repair. The election to apply the Voucher toward the purchase or lease of a single new Nissan or Infiniti vehicle must be exercised within nine (9) months of the Effective Date of this Settlement. The Voucher is not transferable. Class Members eligible for a Voucher but also eligible for reimbursement of a qualifying repair must elect either to receive the Voucher or to receive reimbursement; you cannot receive both.
