NEWARK, N.J. (Legal Newsline) – Class members and American Honda Motor Co. have agreed on a settlement in a class action alleging the Honda CR-V had a defective door lock mechanism that was concealed.

The court should preliminarily approve the settlement agreement because, among other things, it provides substantial benefits to settlement class members and includes a comprehensive notice plan,according to the settlement motion filed Sept. 24 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
