Toyota IC Forklift Emissions Settlement
Court case: Broadmoor Lumber & Plywood Co., et al. v. Toyota Industries Corp., et al.
If you own or lease a Toyota IC forklift with a 1KD, 1ZS, 1FS, or 4Y engine built between 2007 and 2021, you're likely covered by this settlement. You do need to file a claim by September 22, 2026 — it's not automatic. Each qualifying forklift could bring $1,000 to $2,500, plus a free service visit and potential warranty coverage.

Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- The $1,000 to $2,500 per forklift range shifts depending on total claim volume. A higher turnout means a smaller individual payment.
- You'll need actual proof of ownership or a lease agreement. A self-declaration alone probably won't cut it.
- The free service visit is its own separate benefit — don't assume the claim form covers scheduling it. Check the settlement site for those details.
- Warranty coverage is listed as a potential benefit, but the specifics aren't spelled out in the available source material.
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.
