How to file this claim
- Check that your vehicle is a 2019 or 2020 BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, or X7.
- If you paid for a shark-fin antenna sealing repair, submit the Claim Form online at https://forms.ksacms.com/efiling/fr/eform/craftvbmw_claimform/new?form-version=1 by August 27, 2026. Paper forms must be postmarked by August 27, 2026.
- If you never paid for that repair, you don't need to file anything. Your vehicle's warranty is extended for sealing-defect repairs automatically.
- The opt-out deadline was June 30, 2026, so that window is now closed.
- Questions? Call (833) 447-8559 or write to Craft Claims Administrator, c/o Kroll Settlement Administration LLC, P.O. Box 225391, New York, NY 10150-5391.
What the form asks
- Vehicle ownership or lease documentation — Your name and details showing you owned or leased a qualifying 2019-2020 BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, or X7. (Your vehicle title, registration, or lease agreement.)
- Repair expense documentation — The date, cost, and description of the sealing-defect repair you paid for. (The dealer repair order, invoice, or receipt from when the work was done.)
Documents you'll need

- Proof of vehicle ownership or lease (title, registration, or lease agreement) (required)
Watch out for
- The claim deadline is August 27, 2026 for both online submissions and mailed paper forms (postmark counts).
- The opt-out and objection deadline of June 30, 2026 has already passed.
- Settlement money won't go out until the court gives final approval. The Final Approval Hearing was scheduled for July 28, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Check https://sharkfinsettlement.com/ for updates, since hearing dates can shift.
- If you skip filing, you lose the reimbursement and the right to sue BMW NA over this issue separately. The extended warranty on future repairs, however, still applies to you.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
