Looking for a settlement you can still file?
This one is closed, but our 60-second eligibility quiz finds the ones that are still open.
Who Was Eligible?
Who the settlement covered:
- You purchased, leased, or operated a Toyota internal combustion (IC) forklift built between 2007 and 2021
- Your forklift was used in the United States during the covered period
- You are a business owner, fleet operator, or individual who owned or operated a qualifying Toyota IC forklift
- You do not need to have experienced a specific problem with your forklift — the claim is based on the alleged emissions-certification conduct, not a mechanical defect
- Both current and former owners/operators of qualifying forklifts may be eligible
How Much Did It Pay?
Eligible claimants can expect to receive approximately $1,000 to $2,500 per qualifying Toyota IC forklift, depending on the specifics of their claim. The total settlement fund is $299.5 million in cash, with an overall value of around $436 million when including additional benefits. In addition to the cash payment, claimants are also entitled to a free service visit for each qualifying forklift. If your business operated a fleet of Toyota IC forklifts manufactured between 2007 and 2021, you could be eligible for multiple payments — one for each covered unit. The exact amount per forklift may vary based on the total number of valid claims submitted, but the per-unit estimates of $1,000–$2,500 represent current projections.How this claim was filed
