BMW, Mazda, Subaru and Toyota Announce Settlement of Takata Economic Loss Claims to Improve Recall Remedy Completion Rates

May 18, 2017

0

MIAMI, May 18, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — BMW, Mazda, Subaru and Toyota (the automakers) today announced agreements to resolve economic loss claims in the Takata multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the United States. The programs offered in these agreements are intended to increase recall remedy completion rates for Takata airbag inflators, among other customer benefits.

The Takata airbag inflator recall is the largest such action in history and affects more than 42 million vehicles in the United States, across 19 automakers. Given the size, scope and severity of the Takata recall, these automakers are the first to agree to a settlement structure to fund consumer outreach, rental car/loaner programs and out-of-pocket cost reimbursement. The automakers have jointly agreed to provide a total of approximately $553 million for these activities.

If the proposed settlements are approved as final by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the automakers will separately support the following activities, which will be conducted under the supervision of a court-appointed Settlement Special Administrator, subject to the terms and conditions of each agreement:

Outreach Program: The Settlement Special Administrator will oversee and administer outreach programs with the goal of significantly increasing Takata recall remedy completion rates among customers of the four automakers through traditional and non-traditional means. The programs, intended to start before final approval of the agreements, build upon extensive work these automakers have already done to reach the owners of affected vehicles and will be conducted in conjunction with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)’s Coordinated Remedy Program.
Rental Car Loaner Program: Apart from any existing rental car loaner programs, the automakers will make rental or loaner vehicles available upon request to eligible customers, as defined in the respective settlement agreements, and for whom parts are not available within 30 days. This program will begin 30 days after preliminary approval of the agreement.
Out-of-Pocket-Claims and Residual Distribution: Eligible customers may submit requests for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to the Takata airbag inflator recalls and/or may register for residual payments. The Settlement Special Administrator will determine the types of reimbursable costs and class members’ eligibility to receive payments for these claims.
Fees and Administration: Costs related to class member notification, claims administration, attorneys’ fees and expenses, class representative awards, and any other costs are also covered under the proposed settlements.

Further, in addition to performing the recall remedy, the automakers will each offer a Customer Support Program (CSP) for vehicles covered by these proposed settlements. The CSPs will provide prospective coverage for repairs and adjustments (including parts and labor) needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship in the Takata phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (“PSAN”) inflators contained in the affected airbag modules or any replacement inflators installed as part of the remedy, subject to the terms and conditions of each agreement.

These agreements cover the four automakers’ vehicles already recalled or subject to any future recall for Takata PSAN inflators used in driver or front passenger airbag modules,* as described in NHTSA’s 2015 Consent Orders and any amendments. Importantly, these agreements do not contain or constitute any admission of liability or fault by the four automakers.

For more information on the Takata MDL economic loss settlement, consumers are asked to visit http://www.autoairbagsettlement.com or call 888-735-5596.

The size, scope and complexity of the Takata airbag recalls, as well as the age of some of the involved vehicles, have impacted recall remedy completion rates. These settlements’ focus on outreach is intended to increase completion rates, and the automakers strongly encourage all consumers in the U.S. who own any vehicle – regardless of make, model or age – to log on to NHTSA’s recall website at https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls, to ensure that any open recalls are addressed immediately.

*Note – Subaru vehicles are not equipped with driver-side Takata airbags.

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, May 18, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Casting a wide net this year, the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF) hooked celebrities, fishing pros, federal and state representatives to curate the official 2017 Best Family-Friendly Places to Fish and Boat. Take Me Fishing™ and Vamos A Pescar™ unveiled the full list today.

New this year, an exciting group of distinguished contributors and experts have sourced the list, sharing their favorite family-friendly fishing and boating spots. Country music star Luke Bryan headlines this year’s contributors, alongside fellow musician Justin Moore, pro football player Alejandro Villanueva and a host of industry experts. The news comes just ahead of an event-filled National Fishing and Boating Week, June 3 – 11.

The full list of 2017 Best Family-Friendly Places to Fish and Boat is available at www.takemefishing.org/bestplaces and highlights include:

Percy Priest Lake, Tenn.– Country music star Luke Bryan admits “a good fisherman never shares his best spot,” but still offers up his favorite place to escape his fast-paced world for some relaxing time on the water. Known for “Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day,” Bryan’s favorite spot near Nashville is a natural addition to this year’s list. Bryan has a clothing line of the same name available at Cabela’s, and fans can catch the country music megastar on his HFE tour this summer.
Presque Isle Bay, Pa.– Professional offensive lineman and former Army Ranger Alejandro “Big Al” Villanueva picked this popular spot on Lake Erie, and knows a thing or two about the importance of good tackle and a strong line. When he’s not protecting the quarterback, Al says, “I spend a lot of my free time fishing and really cherish any time on the water.”
Degray Lake, Ark.– Having grown up in nearby Poyen, Ark., country music singer Justin Moore frequented Degray Lake as a young boy, and passed down his love of fishing to his own kids. He remembers, “watching my oldest daughter catch her first fish all by herself has to be my favorite moment out there.”
Texas City Dyke, Texas– Professional angler Cindy Nguyen added this spot, noting, “I grew up fishing in Texas City Dyke and the surrounding areas. It’s still one of my favorite places to bring the family.”
Central Park, N.Y.– Host of South Bend’s Lunkerville, Michael de Avila, better known to his fans as Mike D., picked an unexpected fishing oasis in the middle of the nation’s largest city. Central Park offers three unique family-friendly spots at the lake, the pond and the Harlem Meer.
Webb Lake, Fla.– Women’s sportfishing advocate and outdoor writer Debbie Hanson loves the fishing at wildlife at Webb Lake. “Not only is Webb Lake great for numbers of largemouth bass and bluegill, but there are also some fantastic wildlife viewing opportunities. I’ve spotted sandhill cranes, great blue herons and white-tailed deer on my visits.”
South Padre Island, Texas– Pedro Sors, professional angler and Mexico’s most popular fishing TV show host, chose this popular spot for its ability to provide him and his sons with “a sense of freedom and a way to connect with nature and myself.”
Buckeye Creek, Calif. – Chelsea Day of the Someday I’ll Learn blog, fondly recalls memories at this picturesque spot in the eastern Sierras. “Our oldest son caught his first fish at this spot, and it was really special to be able to cook it right up and serve it for dinner at the campsite. Such a sense of accomplishment for him!”

“This year we decided to ask some of our friends and partners where they like to go fishing, and the response has been overwhelming,” said RBFF President and CEO, Frank Peterson. “While the locations are as diverse as the people who shared them, some key themes emerged. From the busiest cities to the smallest fishing holes, you’re never too far from a place to make memories with loved-ones. Fishing and boating are easy ways to escape life’s tensions, so whether you’re getting over a stressful week at the office or simply trying to cut back on screen time, this is the year to get out on the water together to conserve and restore our nation’s aquatic resources.”

May 18, 2017

TORRANCE, Calif., May 18, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The refreshed 2018 Acura TLX performance luxury sedan goes on sale June 1 with a more sporty and alluring look reflecting the brand’s new design direction, along with an all-new TLX A-Spec variant, and new premium features. The 2018 TLX offers AcuraWatch™ as standard equipment on all grades, leading all luxury midsize sedans in the application of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies. The new 2018 TLX 2.4L starts with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)¹ of $33,000 while the V6 equipped models start at $36,200. The TLX V6 A-Spec is offered for the first time starting at $42,800.

“We’re enhancing the already outstanding dynamic performance of the Acura TLX by carrying our Precision Crafted Performance direction through to the exterior design,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president and general manager of Acura. “The addition of the new A-Spec further advances the TLX to a more distinctive position in the segment and enhances its appeal to a more performance oriented buyer.”

The 2018 TLX is the first Acura to feature a redesigned dual-screen user interface (ODMD 2.0) with more intuitive menus and command structures complemented by a new 7-inch capacitive touchscreen (previously resistive type) with a 30-percent faster response time and Android Auto™ compatibility — putting some of your phone’s most useful Apps on the TLX’s display. The new TLX also supports Apple CarPlay™, a seamless way to use your iPhone in the car to get directions optimized for traffic, make calls, send and receive messages, and listen to music.

The 2018 TLX is the first Acura sedan to take design cues from the Acura Precision Concept and boasts an alluring new style, highlighted by the Acura diamond pentagon grille and amplified by its more sharply sculpted hood and front fenders, paired with strong dynamic characteristics including more aggressive and sporty front and rear fascia and side sills. Acura’s signature 5-lamp Jewel Eye™ LED headlights and new alloy wheel designs complete the distinctive, athletic and aggressive character of the TLX.

New Features for TLX V6 Models
All TLX V6 models feature a new rear diffuser with exposed dual-exhaust outlets; while the Technology Package adds a chrome side sill garnish, leather seats with high-contrast stitching and piping, and a power-operated driver’s seat thigh extension.

The TLX V6 Advance Package gains new, premium features including trapezoidal LED fog lights, a Surround View camera system, built-in wireless charging pad, white LED ambient interior light piping (in 10 locations), a heated steering wheel and rear outboard seats, power-folding side mirrors, and a new body-colored decklid spoiler.

All-New TLX V6 A-Spec
Reflecting Acura’s Precision Crafted Performance^® DNA, the all-new 2018 TLX V6 A-Spec amps up the sporty character of TLX and features exclusive design elements inside and out, along with key enhancements to chassis tuning and wheel/tire specification.

The TLX A-Spec’s unique styling begins in front with a matte-black diamond pentagon grille with dark chrome surround, an aggressive lower front fascia with broad center air opening flanked by round LED fog lights, and a dark appearance for the Jewel Eye LED headlights. A-Spec exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels finished in Shark Gray paint are shod with 245-series tires and combine with aggressively flared side sills for a more athletic and planted stance. The A-Spec exterior upgrades continue at the rear with a gloss-black decklid spoiler, “smoked” LED taillights, and an exclusive fascia featuring a lower diffuser accented by 4-inch round dual exhaust finishers. A matte-black side window surround and A-Spec badging on the front fenders and rear decklid completes the look.

Inside, the TLX A-Spec features more aggressively bolstered front seats with high-contrast stitching and piping; red LED ambient light piping; red driver’s meter highlights; black headliner and pillar treatment; brushed aluminum-look instrument panel garnish; and an exclusive, thick-rimmed steering wheel with A-Spec badging.

In addition to the improved lateral grip and responsiveness offered by Michelin Primacy 245/40R19 tires (225/50R18 on other V6 models), the TLX A-Spec benefits from a retuned electric power steering system and damper settings. A-Spec models equipped with SH-AWD also get a quicker steering ratio for increased response and a stiffer spring rate and rear stabilizer bar for improved body control.

The TLX A-Spec is available in five exterior colors, including a trim-exclusive Still Night Blue Pearl, and one of two unique interior color schemes, Black with Alcantara™ seat and door inserts or Full Red which features a bold red leather throughout. A-Spec models have the same feature set as the TLX V6 with Technology Package as well ventilated front seats, wireless charging pad and LED ambient light piping found in the Advance Package.

Powertrain and Chassis
The 2018 Acura TLX continues to be offered with two advanced powertrains: a 2.4-liter, 206-horsepower i-VTEC® inline-4 mated to an 8-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (8DCT) with torque converter; and a 3.5-liter, 290-horsepower i-VTEC® V6 mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission that has been retuned for a more refined feel.

TLX models with the 2.4-liter engine come equipped with Acura Precision All-Wheel Steer™ (P-AWS™), with independent left- and right-rear-wheel toe angle control to enhance overall handling precision, low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability.

TLX models with the 3.5-liter V6 are available in both two- and all-wheel drive configurations. Front-drive models feature P-AWS with independent left- and right-rear-wheel toe angle control that sharpens low- and high-speed maneuverability. All-wheel-drive models feature Acura Super-Handling All Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD^®), the most sophisticated torque-vectoring system in the industry, enabling a precise, dynamic driving experience that is uniquely Acura.

TLX 2.4-liter models can be equipped with the Technology Package, while V6 models are available with the Technology, A-Spec or Advance Packages.
