| YOU MAY: | DATE/CLAIM PERIOD | |
| LAST DAY TO FILE A REGISTRATION AND REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM FORM TO SEEK REIMBURSEMENT OF CERTAIN OUT -OF-POCKET EXPENSES | You may submit a Registration and Reimbursement Claim Form for the following Out-Of-Pocket costs on a Subject Vehicle that were incurred prior to the Final Effective Date and that were not otherwise reimbursed by Toyota: (a) the cost to repair or replace an IPM or Inverter, (b) rental car expenses incurred in connection with the repair or replacement of an IPM or Inverter and/or (c) towing expenses incurred in connection with the repair or replacement of an IPM or Inverter. Filing a claim is the only way that you can get reimbursed for these Out-Of-Pocket Costs. | The date has now passed. |
| LAST DAY TO FILE A REGISTRATION AND REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM FORM FOR POTENTIAL PAYMENT OF A REDISTRIBUTION CHECK | If you are a Class Member who had the Inverter and/or IPM in your Subject Vehicle replaced (at your own expense or under warranty) prior to the Final Effective Date, you may be eligible for a Redistribution Check for up to $250, which will be available only if sufficient funds remain in the Settlement Fund once all valid Out-of-Pocket Claims have been paid out of that Settlement Fund, unless it is administratively unfeasible. If Toyota possesses information sufficient to determine that your Subject Vehicle has had its IPM or Inverter replaced and how to contact you, you will be notified by First-Class mail that a Redistribution Check will be sent to you without the need for you to file a Registration and Reimbursement claim form (but, again, only if money remains in the Settlement Fund after all claims for reimbursement of Out-of-Pocket expenses have been paid, unless it is administratively unfeasible). Unless you have received notice that you are automatically registered for this benefit, you must submit a timely Registration and Reimbursement Claim Form to be eligible for Redistribution Funds (if available and administratively feasible). | The date has now passed. |
| COMMENCEMENT OF OTHER SETTLEMENT BENEFITS | Upon the Final Effective Date, Toyota will implement the Customer Confidence Program. If you have not opted out of the Settlement, your Subject Vehicle will be covered by the Customer Confidence Program, which enhances existing warranties by providing certain cost-free repairs or replacements of the IPM and/or Inverter for twenty (20) years from the date of First Use of the Subject Vehicle pursuant to certain terms, and also includes a Loaner/Towing Program, whereby, under certain conditions and without cost to Class Members Toyota shall provide (i) a complimentary Loaner Vehicle as set forth in the Settlement Agreement and/or (ii) either towing or reimbursement for towing expenses to the Toyota Dealer as set forth in the Settlement Agreement, in order for the Subject Vehicle to undergo an Inverter and/or IPM repair and/or replacement pursuant to certain terms. | March 7, 2023 |
