Claims of Honda battery draining in turned-off cars dismissed
“Plaintiffs do not identify which of the countless electrical components in their vehicles failed to shut down, let alone what the defect is that affected the component’s ability to shut down,” wrote Amir M. Nassihi and Rachel A. Straus of Shook Hardy & Bacon LLP in their motion to dismiss.
A federal judge dismissed a class action against Honda Motor Co. Inc. on Tuesday that claimed the Honda CR-V and the Honda Accord had a “parasitic draining” defect that depleted batteries after the cars had been turned off.
“The plaintiffs have failed to plead facts showing that they suffered past harm that is likely to be repeated in the future as a result of the alleged defect,” U.S. District Judge Haywood S. Gilliam Jr. wrote.
