Own or Lease a Toyota Forklift? You May Be Owed Up to $2,500 Per Unit.

Toyota Industries Corporation and Toyota Material Handling have agreed to pay $299.5 million to resolve a class action alleging that certain Toyota IC (internal combustion) forklifts were sold with engines whose real-world emissions exceeded regulatory limits and were misrepresented to buyers and lessees.

‍

The case is Broadmoor Lumber & Plywood Co., et al. v. Toyota Industries Corp., et al., Case No. 3:24-cv-06640-JSC, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

‍

Who Qualifies?
Individuals and entities that purchased or leased a Toyota IC forklift in the United States on or before January 20, 2026, where the IC engine was built between 2007 and 2021.

What You Can Get

• Cash payment per eligible forklift (pro rata from the net settlement fund)
• A free Service Plan visit from an authorized Toyota dealer
• A new parts warranty in the event of a recall

You will need to identify each forklift by model and serial number and provide proof of ownership or lease. If you have multiple eligible forklifts you must submit a separate claim for each one (a Fleet option is available for claimants with more than 5 forklifts).
