Lead plaintiff Francis Hooker Jr. said that after buying a 2012 Hyundai that came with a free SiriusXM trial, he was hounded by sales calls from the company. Hooker said Sirius violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by causing third parties to call his cellphone via an autodialer and after 9 p.m. to market subscriptions.
According to reports, the settlement would have SiriusXM pay $35 million to the settlement fund and offer three free months of Select service to each class member to settle the case, which would also lead to dismissals of three other class action suits, the outcome of which were all stayed pending the resolution of the present case. The company would also switch to manual dialers rather than robocalling.
