Toyota — Hilux, Fortuner and Prado DPF defect class action

Owners of Toyota Hilux, Fortuner or Prado diesel vehicles fitted with defective Diesel Particulate Filters, purchased new in Australia during the affected period. Liability was established and upheld, with the High Court ruling on how damages are calculated (November 2024). The parties are in settlement negotiations, so final per-vehicle amounts are not yet confirmed.
