Why a Settlement?
Plaintiffs alleged several Toyota vehicles contained a defect that created an echo for the person on the other end of a Bluetooth call. They claimed Toyota failed to disclose the issue, violating consumer-protection laws in 11 states. Toyota denies wrongdoing but agreed to injunctive relief to avoid continued litigation expenses and risks.
