When will that GM recall check come?

As many as 33,000 Arizonans are slated to receive checks of $200 or more in a recall settlement with the vehicle manufacturer GM, the Arizona Attorney General announced in March.

But many are wondering why they haven’t seen a check.

If you’re one of them, don’t worry. You aren’t missing out.

The Arizona Attorney General’s Office told The Arizona Republic the process will take several more months to complete.

Eligible drivers should receive claim letters by August, spokeswoman Katie Conner said. Recipients should fill the forms out and send them back.

The refund checks are expected to be sent in early 2019, Conner said.

GM agreed to pay $6.3 million to eligible drivers in Arizona and $1 million in fines to the state in the wake of revelations that ignition switches in its vehicles could turn off suddenly. The defect contributed to as many as 124 deaths across the country.

Other GM vehicles had problems with airbags and power steering, spurring recalls in 2014 of millions of vehicles.

The Arizona lawsuit alleged GM falsely advertised, concealed defects and created a corporate culture that devalued vehicle safety.

Arizona was the only state that obtained money for consumers, according to Attorney General Mark Brnovich.

“Consumers should always come first,” Brnovich said in a written statement. “I wasn’t going to settle until Arizona consumers received compensation.”

Keep an eye out for a letter. You must sign and return a release form mailed to you by a claims administrator.

You’ll get a minimum of $200 if everyone who is eligible submits claims.
