Toyota will pay $299.5 million to resolve claims that certain US-sold internal-combustion forklifts (2007–2021) were represented as complying with emissions requirements. Claim deadline: September 22, 2026. Covered engine/models and years: 1KD (2014–2021); 1ZS (2014–2021); 1FS (2013–2021); 4Y (2007–2021). The settlement provides cash awards (approximately $1,000–$2,800 per forklift, depending on claim volume), a service/inspection benefit (about $800 value), and a parts warranty when recall repairs are needed. Plaintiffs allege Toyota’s forklifts failed to meet EPA emissions standards, causing owners to pay unexpected repair and maintenance costs; Toyota denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle. When multiple parties claim the same forklift, the registered owner typically receives 60% and other claimants split the remaining 40%.
