Honda emissions compensation

Honda is one of the many car manufacturers that we are investigating over allegations that its diesel vehicles may have allegedly breached emissions regulations. In 2015, the Volkswagen ‘dieselgate’ scandal became the trigger for revelations about potential widespread emissions problems across a large number of major carmakers. Those who own or have previously owned Honda diesel vehicles could be eligible to claim Honda emissions compensation if allegations are proven to be true.

The majority of carmakers implicated in emissions scandals are suspected of implementing some form of illegal defeat device technology in their vehicles as a means of cheating emissions tests. Where this is the case, carmakers will not only have broken emissions regulations, they may also have breached consumer rights law. Of course, carmakers strongly deny that they have done anything wrong, which is why we are carefully investigating the matters.

When we began taking on VW emissions claims in 2015 and initiated High Court proceedings against Volkswagen in 2016, we knew that the Volkswagen allegations were only the tip of the iceberg. We now want to use our experience in emissions litigation to hold any and all deceitful car manufacturers to account. If you claim compensation in one of our group actions, you will be doing your bit to see that justice is done if cheating has taken place.

The allegations against Honda

Soon after the Volkswagen ‘dieselgate’ scandal was publicised, Honda became one of a number of other carmakers to be subjected to emissions allegations. An independent on-the-road testing programme reportedly found in 2015 that Honda’s diesel vehicles could be emitting up to six-times the official levels of nitrous oxide (NOx). In response, Honda asserted that it tested its vehicles in line with legislation and that it has done nothing wrong.

As a result of reports of elevated levels of NOx, Honda naturally became implicated in allegations of the use of so-called defeat device technology. In general, a defeat device is used to describe software implemented in vehicles in order to reduce emissions output in testing settings, but then allow emissions regulations to be broken outside of testing conditions.

More recently, Honda was also implicated in accusations that the government had reportedly told car manufacturers and dealerships to give false figures for the carbon dioxide produced by their new, supposedly eco-friendly hybrid vehicles. Again, until allegations are proven, we can but investigate and review at this time, but we can take claims on now.

Honda emissions compensation claims

If the allegations against Honda are found to be true, and it emerges that customers were deceived about the emissions output of their vehicles, the affected car owners could be eligible to recover thousands of pounds in Honda emissions compensation.

In fact, we may be able to apply legislation called the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPUT), as is relevant in the Volkswagen emissions litigation. If the CPUT applies to our Honda emission compensation action, claimants could recover between 25% and 100% of the original price of their vehicles, which could amount to thousands, or even tens of thousands, of pounds in compensation.
