Toyota Class Action

Taylor DPF Class Action

Relating to certain Hilux, Fortuner & Prado diesel vehicles

The Taylor DPF Class Action claims compensation (money) on behalf of people who purchased a Toyota Hilux, Fortuner and Prado vehicle fitted with a 1GD-FTV or 2GD-FTV diesel engine in used condition, by way of private sale, between 24 April 2020 and 31 July 2025, from a person who purchased the vehicle new between 1 October 2015 and 23 April 2020, and who still own their vehicle.

In another class action (Williams DPF Class Action), it has been held that these vehicles were not of acceptable quality at the time they were initially supplied because they were fitted with a defective diesel particulate filter (DPF) system.

The parties are engaged in settlement negotiations

The applicant and Toyota are currently engaged in confidential settlement discussions to try to reach agreement about the amount of money payable to Group Members and will soon attend a mediation for this purpose.

Group Members are likely to receive money if the parties reach a settlement.

You must register by 26 August 2026 to receive money from any settlement

If you wish to receive money from any settlement, you must register by 4 pm on 26 August 2026.

For more information about the registration process, what happens if you do not register and what happens if the parties do not reach a settlement, see the July 2026 Update at the Updates tab at the top of the page.

Correspondence from Toyota regarding DPF repairs

You may have received a letter from Toyota inviting you to take your Relevant Vehicle to a Toyota Dealer to have the defective DPF system in the vehicle repaired.

You should be aware that if you take up Toyota’s invitation to have the DPF system in the vehicle repaired, Toyota will argue in this class action that you will lose any entitlement to be paid money for reduction in value under section 272(1)(a) of the Australian Consumer Law.
