Daughter of Fast & Furious franchise actor Paul Walker has settled a lawsuit with Porsche, the maker of the car her father was driving when he died.

The lawsuit claims that the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT had stability issues, a faulty seat belt, and other flaws that the company knew about. Daughter Meadow Walker and a legal team claim that the seat belt snapped Paul back with immense force, causing his ribs and pelvis to break, and that Walker was unable to unbuckle the seat belt and escape the car before the engine fire consumed it, according to The Blast.
