Question about lawsuit pertaining to parts on some vehicles (including some Leafs)

I'd heard of an auto parts class action settlement via FB ads. I have one of these that I saved I think months ago that points to https://www.myautorefund.com/ from https://www.facebook.com/refundrecoverygroup/.

A quick Google search turns up these, for example:
https://www.autopartsclass.com/ *
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/time-is-running-out-for-consumers-and-businesses-to-get-100-or-more-from-over-1-2-billion-in-auto-parts-settlements-300961813.html
https://abc7news.com/quicktip-quick-tip-abc7-news/5747705/ (this is a local TV station for me)

I plan to do a bit more digging on the domain I put a * next to. I have owned or leased numerous vehicles included and will likely submit a claim somewhere.

FWIW, for class action settlements, I've had settlement amounts ranging from nothing (once it was user error on my part) to once a check for over $3000! This is what I wrote on another forum in 2016:
"The other I got was SHOCKING to me... I recently received a class action settlement check for over $3000! It was involving unauthorized recording of phone calls to certain apartment companies. I did in fact call some of those companies while searching for an apartment. When it looks like I might get some award that's worth my time (e.g. something where the amount is stated or where I can make an estimate and it's isn't crap like a back of blank CD-Rs), I tend to file...

I was amazed to receive a check THAT large. I'm guessing a lot of people didn't file claims."

I signed on. Apparently leasing a 2013 Nissan Leaf is a qualifying purchase or lease. I wonder who will inherit the settlement?
