Each of the 12 plaintiffs who filed the class action will receive $5,000

Impacted RAV models may have 12-volt batteries that can't be clamped down properly and may short circuit. Toyota recalled 1.9 million RAV4s over the issue in November 2023. Certain Toyota RAV4 owners in the U.S. may be eligible for a $75 reimbursement after the automaker agreed to settle a class action related to defective battery terminals that could potentially cause vehicles to stall, and potentially catch fire.

Various other lawsuits were filed, and some of them have been consolidated into this settlement. Toyota acknowledged the issue in November 2023 when it recalled almost 1.9 million RAV4s to replace the battery hold-down clamps, battery trays, and positive terminal covers. It also offered to reimburse owners who paid out of pocket to fix the fault. Not everyone will be eligible for this latest reimbursement.
