Documents you'll need
- Vehicle title or lease agreement confirming ownership as of July 31, 2023 (required)
Watch out for
- The opt-out and objection deadlines were October 20, 2023. Both have passed. You can't exclude yourself from the settlement or object at this point.
- Claims are being processed on a rolling basis and deficiency notices are already going out. Keep an eye on your mail and the settlement website so you don't miss a request to fix your claim.
- The $78.5 million covers cash, credits, and non-cash benefits like the Extended New Parts Warranty and Inspection Program. Make sure you understand what each piece covers.
- The up-to-$250 per capita figure applies to a residual distribution scenario. The main benefit for most claimants is documented expense reimbursement, and that requires receipts.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

How do I know if my vehicle is included?
Use the VIN lookup tool at airbagcontrolunitsettlement.com. Enter your vehicle identification number and it'll tell you right away whether your car is part of the settlement class.
What's the airbag defect actually about?
Plaintiffs allege that the ZF-TRW airbag control units in these Toyota vehicles are vulnerable to something called electrical overstress, which can cause airbags and other safety features to fail during a crash. Toyota denies the claims but agreed to settle.
Do I get money even if I never had a problem?
There's a residual distribution of up to $250 per person for eligible class members, but the primary reimbursements are for documented out-of-pocket expenses. If you had no repair costs or related expenses, you may still receive a residual payment depending on how the fund is distributed after all claims are processed.
What if I already sold the vehicle?
Former owners and lessees are covered, as long as you owned or leased the vehicle as of July 31, 2023. You'd need to document that ownership and any expenses you incurred.
Is there anything other than cash?
Yes. Toyota is also providing an Extended New Parts Warranty and a loaner vehicle program for current owners whose vehicles need inspection or repair under the settlement's Inspection Program.

- Check your email (including spam) and any mail from around when the settlement was announced — the Claim ID is usually printed right on the notice.
- Still can't find it? Contact the settlement administrator (Kroll Settlement Administration), tell them you believe you're a class member (for example, a customer or patient in the covered period), and ask them to look you up and send your Claim ID.
