What is the Toyota Camry HVAC System Class Action?
A multi-million dollar class action lawsuit has been settled with Toyota concerning allegations of defective air conditioning systems in certain Toyota Camry models.
The lawsuit addresses complaints about faulty heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in 2012-2015 Toyota Camry vehicles purchased or leased in California. The class action claims these HVAC systems may cause moisture buildup, resulting in unpleasant odors and potential mold growth.
Toyota denies the allegations but has agreed to a settlement to resolve the issue without admitting any wrongdoing.
What is the Total Settlement Amount?
The total settlement amount has not been explicitly disclosed. However, the settlement includes provisions for reimbursing certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by class members. With attorney fees and expenses totaling $4.45 million, the estimated total settlement fund is projected to be between $9 million and $12 million, based on previous class action settlements.
How Do I Qualify for a Payout?
To qualify for a payout, you must have owned or leased a 2012 to 2015 Toyota Camry XV50 in California before May 31, 2024. You can verify your vehicle’s eligibility using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) lookup tool available on the official Toyota Camry air conditioning class action settlement website (linked below).
Which Toyota Camry Models Are Included?
The settlement applies to Toyota Camry XV50 models from 2012 to 2015 purchased or leased in California. The “XV50” refers to Camry models manufactured between August 2011 and August 2020, though only 2012-2015 models are included in this HVAC class action settlement.
How Much Can I Get Paid?
If you qualify, you may be reimbursed for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to the HVAC system. For expenses incurred on or before May 31, 2024, there is no specified limit. For expenses incurred after this date, reimbursement is capped at $100 for replacing and installing a charcoal filter.
