It must be understood that its just part of the legal settlement that is actually beneficial to Toyota.

For one thing, when you cash the check, you surrender all potential legal/civil recourse against Toyota concerning this.

Also, As I understand it, Toyota did not even have have to legally admit fault.

While it does say that by signing the back of the check, you "hereby agree to the terms of the Release as stated in Section VI of the Settlement Agreement."

However, in the attached letter it states "the terms of the settlement apply to you whether you cash the enclosed check."

So there is no real reason not to cash in the $29.23 check!

I'm not sure. Do you think there might be a difference between having "the terms of" a settlement apply to you and agreeing "to the terms of the Release...?" I ask, and had the same thought as the quote by red that you posted, but honestly I'm probably going to go deposit my $29.23 check soon.

I am by far not a lawyer, nor did I say at a Holiday Inn Express last night; but from my interpretation that statement means the lawsuit is settled and any further legal action cannot be pursued.

To be honest, I doubt anyone would be successful in further litigation in this matter as it is based on general slander towards this particular model of car.

Heck, if anything devalues the trade-in of my Yaris, it's the crappy Toyota paint!

I wonder if the amount per check is varying depending on location of owners? Mine is for nearly 30 dollars as well. Was a nice little surprise, I didn't expect to get one.

I received a check for $29.23 yesterday.
My 2007 was part of the settlement by what the web site said.

Same amount for me too. Mobile smartphone deposit, it posted to my account the next day. Had a great dinner at a great BBQ joint here.

Got mine too! Twenty something dollars (the wife scarfed it up)

Miserable Toyota bastards! Serves them right for making a reliable economic car!

I got mine a while back... for $125, I think! I'll see if I can find a copy of it.

Edit:
Found it on my bank's website...

Yeah, I usually could care less about class-action lawsuits. Especially this one, as I don't really think the value of my car went down at all.

I just figured I might as well take a little bit out of the settlement fund before the lawyers got the rest...

We got our check for about $9 also. Will use that money towards the gas needed to drive the 73 miles roundtrip to the "recall" for the potentially faulty driver's seat. Sigh. That should leave us with about $3 for a taco or two. Sweet!

Is this an American only class-action lawsuit? Still waiting for someone outside of the US to report receipt of a cheque.

Probably because only in America can you get sued for lost resale value?
