If approved, the settlement will cover claims against Toyota on behalf of all Canadian owners of Toyotas with an electronic throttle control system.
Eligible owners will receive an enhanced warranty for a minimum of three years to cover repairs and to have their vehicles equipped with a brake override system. If their vehicle is ineligible for the free system, owners will get cash instead.
