Subaru EyeSight settlement: where ADC fits in

If you own an EyeSight-equipped Subaru, you may have heard about the class-action settlement involving windshield-related issues. ADC is not a law firm and we cannot answer questions about eligibility, payouts, or claim deadlines. What we can do is the technical part: recalibrating the EyeSight stereo cameras to factory specification after a settlement-funded windshield replacement, with documentation for your file.

EyeSight stereo cameras

EyeSight uses two cameras mounted at the top of the windshield. Any windshield work, including replacements done under the settlement, requires a factory recalibration before the system can be trusted on the road.

Factory-procedure documentation

We follow Subaru service information and produce a written report with target positions, pre- and post-scan results, and a final pass status. It goes in your repair file alongside your settlement paperwork.

Independent and shop-neutral

ADC is not affiliated with Subaru of America, the settlement administrator, or any law firm. We are an independent calibration shop in Springfield that drivers and body shops use when EyeSight has to be brought back to spec.

What we know about the settlement (and what we do not)

A class-action settlement involving EyeSight-equipped Subarus has been working its way through the courts, with windshield-related concerns at the center of it. That is roughly the extent of what we are comfortable saying. We are technicians, not attorneys. We do not interpret class definitions, opt-out windows, claim forms, or payout schedules, and we cannot tell you whether your specific vehicle, VIN, or repair history qualifies for anything. For any of those questions, please contact a qualified attorney or the official settlement administrator listed on your notice. If you did not receive a notice and think you should have, an attorney can help you figure out where to look. Treat anything you read on a repair-shop website, including this page, as background information only.

What ADC can actually help with

Our role starts after the legal and glass-replacement steps are done. If a windshield gets replaced as part of a settlement-funded repair, the EyeSight stereo cameras almost always need to be recalibrated. Sometimes the glass shop handles calibration in-house, sometimes they sublet it, and sometimes it is missed entirely, which is the situation we see most often. We can perform the static or dynamic calibration Subaru specifies for your model and model year, scan the vehicle for stored faults, verify camera aim against factory targets, and hand you documentation showing the work was completed. If you already had glass replaced and were never told whether calibration happened, we can pull a pre-scan and inspect the camera bracket so you have a clear picture of where the vehicle actually stands today.

Why calibration matters even when the glass is new

EyeSight relies on two cameras looking through the windshield at a very specific angle. Replacing the glass, even with the correct OEM part, shifts the optical path enough that the system has to be re-taught what straight ahead looks like. Without that step, pre-collision braking, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise can behave unpredictably, sometimes by braking when they should not, sometimes by failing to react when they should. A factory-spec calibration is what closes that loop. If calibration was skipped or undocumented after a settlement-related repair, that is a service issue we can address directly, separate from anything happening on the legal side.
