Cash Payments and Other Benefits Are Available for Eligible Current and Former Owners and Lessees of Certain Toyota Vehicles.
There is a proposed Settlement (the “Settlement”) in a class action lawsuit against the Toyota Defendants concerning certain Toyota vehicles (known as the “Subject Vehicles”) that contain certain ZF-TRW airbag control units (“ZF-TRW ACUs”). If you are included in the Settlement, you have legal rights and options and deadlines by which you must exercise them.
The Settlement pays $78.5 million in cash and credits (the “Settlement Amount”) in addition to an Extended New Parts Warranty, loaner vehicle program, and other benefits.
The case is currently pending before Judge John A. Kronstadt in the United States District Court for the Central District of California in an action titled In Re: ZF-TRW Airbag Control Units Products Liability Litigation (Case No. 2:19-ml-02905). Plaintiffs allege that the ZF-TRW ACUs equipped in the Subject Vehicles are vulnerable to a condition called electrical overstress, which may cause the vehicles’ airbags and other safety features to fail during a collision. Toyota denies these claims but has agreed to the Settlement to resolve the case. The Court has not decided who is right. The purpose of this Settlement website is to provide you with important information about the Settlement, so you may decide what to do.
