About This Settlement
Toyota agreed to a $299.5 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming that it sold defective internal combustion (IC) forklifts that failed to meet emissions standards.
The class action settlement benefits individuals and entities that purchased or leased a Toyota forklift with an IC engine built between 2007 and 2021 and sold in the United States.
The settlement covers Toyota forklifts sold with any of the following engines and emissions certification years: 2014–2021 1KD, 2014–2021 1ZS, 2013–2021 1FS and 2007-2021 4Y.
According to the class action lawsuit, Toyota sold IC forklifts that were not certified to meet emissions standards. Plaintiffs in the case say that they were forced to pay for emissions-related repairs and other costs associated with the defective forklifts.
Toyota is a manufacturer of various vehicles, including forklifts.
Toyota has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $299.5 million class action settlement to resolve the allegations.
Under the terms of the Toyota settlement, class members can receive a cash payment, a service plan visit and a new parts warranty.
Class members can receive between $1,000 and $2,500 per eligible forklift, depending on the number of claims filed with the settlement.
The service plan visit will cover labor and travel costs for one visit per operable forklift. This visit will include an inspection of the forklift’s major systems and other services.
The new parts warranty will apply to new engine parts installed during a government-approved recall for the settlement class forklift.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 1, 2026.
