Mitsubishi Outlander hood settlement, claims closed, when the repair reimbursements go out
Last checked July 2, 2026
Mitsubishi Motors North America settled Damocles v. Mitsubishi over 2022 Outlander hoods that flutter and bounce at highway speed. Owners who paid for hood repairs could file for documented repair, replacement and rental costs, up to $4,595. Separately, Mitsubishi extended its warranty to cover 100 percent of a hood replacement for 18 months starting May 1, 2026, so an unrepaired vehicle can still get a free dealer fix.
Reimbursement claims are closed. The case is 3:22-cv-00401 in the Middle District of Tennessee.
Where it stands
The reimbursement claim window has closed. Our source does not list the deadline date, a hearing date, or an approval order.
No reimbursements have been reported as paid. The free warranty repair is a separate track and does not depend on the payment schedule.
When checks usually go out
Payment follows court approval, a roughly 30-day appeal window, and a claim review that screens for duplicates and fraud. Administrators describe this as several months, and the notice on the administrator site is the reliable signal that it has begun. Repair reimbursements require invoices, so the review step tends to run long.
If you filed
Hold onto your claim confirmation, and if you move or change banks before checks go out, update your details on the administrator site. Messages promising an early payout for a fee are scams; the only money here comes from the fund, at no cost to you. The Payout app lists settlements that are still open, if you want to catch the next one before its deadline; filing on any administrator site is free either way.
