    I missed out on a hefty payment from the lithium ion battery antitrust settlement, "Reverse the Charge", apparently because they chose to distribute payments by email instead of USPS. In the many years between sign-up and distribution, I had changed primary email providers, still getting the legacy email via POP protocol, but going to its website to check their spam trap only infrequently. As best I can tell, the final settlement notices and e-payment were sent during a time when the provider's spam filter was very aggressive and trapping almost everything, before I noticed the problem and went in to loosen it up. Everything in that spam trap auto-expires in 7 days, and I missed it. Discovered only after payments to first-round non-respondents had been re-distributed to others, and the whole deal closed.

    That was my thoughts as well... but I do believe it's now covered for maybe ~15 years? (I know they extended it, but not sure how long)

    Our Prii is a 2011.. I think the 2010's and 2011's for sure had issues... I was driving the car when it failed... in my case, no indication of a looming failure until it failed... to be fair, I was accelerating a little hard while passing another car when it just broke and went into limp mode. Limp mode in our case was enough to allow me to finish our commute and get us back home, but the car barely got down the freeway.. the engine would not shut off.. the dash was lit up like a Christmas Tree. The dealership had the car for at least a week while diagnosing it.. they would not confirm the IPM failed until nearly complete with the car.. they replaced several parts inside that inverter box.. if I recall, they tweaked things in great detail to get things dialed in, despite that we had done all the recalls prior to the failure.
