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.
