The purpose of this website is to provide a brief summary of the claims asserted in the lawsuit described below and the terms of the proposed settlement, including the benefits to which you may be entitled if you are a Settlement Class Member.
Toyota has received reports from customers suggesting that, in some instances, the windshields in their 2006 model-year Scion xBs were prone to cracking. A class action lawsuit was filed in California related to this issue. Now a nationwide settlement has been proposed in that lawsuit. If you are an eligible Settlement Class Member, the settlement provides that, for a period of six years or 60,000 miles from the date of original retail sale or lease of the vehicle (whichever occurs first) eligible owners and lessees of 2006 model-year Scion xBs (referred to in this notice as “Class Vehicles”) are entitled to one of the following benefits: (1) have one Genuine Toyota windshield replaced or repaired by an authorized Toyota dealer for free after the Effective Date of the Settlement, provided you meet certain criteria, or (2) if you are an eligible Settlement Class Member who has already paid to repair or replace a cracked Genuine Toyota windshield covered by this settlement, you will be reimbursed for one such repair or replacement upon the submission of a valid Claim Form. Limitations apply.
A Settlement Agreement was entered into by the Parties on December 22, 2009.
