Toyota has settled a large-scale class action lawsuit relating to defective heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in certain models of their Camry cars from 2012 to 2015. The suit alleges that these HVAC systems led to moisture accumulation, causing unpleasant odors and potential mold growth. Toyota has denied these claims but has agreed to a settlement to resolve the issue without admitting guilt. This settlement applies to the Camry XV50 models purchased or leased in California, and owners could claim reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses. The total settlement amount has not been explicitly shared, but from the information available, we can estimate it to be around $9 million to $12 million. This is based on the attorney fees and expenses, amounting to $4.1 million and $350,000 respectively, which in past class action settlements often represent roughly one-third to half of the total settlement. Qualifying class members may receive reimbursement for reasonable expenses related to the HVAC system issues — these could include costs incurred for replacing and installing a charcoal filter capped at $100.
