| 2015-2019 | Subaru Forester |
| 2015-2019 | Subaru Legacy |

The Plaintiff claimed damages arising from alleged negligence, breach of warranties, and unjust enrichment due to alleged defect in the vehicles that leads to sudden and unexpected battery failure and premature battery replacement.
The lawsuit on behalf of the proposed class was dismissed on January 29, 2024. A dismissal of the lawsuit means that it is not going forward or being pursued. A copy of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice Order can be found here.
Dismissal of the claims means that any applicable limitation periods in respect of these claims, which may have been suspended, will begin running again, and will ultimately expire (if they have not already done so).
