Good news for long suffering Toyota drivers with DPF problems. Toyota's failure to adequately address significant DPF problems has been punished. Compensation: 17.5% of the average retail price of vehicles affected (if you were part of the class action presumably).

........"In Toyota's defence, legal teams argued the vehicles in question were “fit for all the purposes” as a reasonable consumer would regard as acceptable. Toyota also argued the diesel particulate filter "is not essential for the operation of essential parts of the relevant vehicles", "the relevant vehicles were operational in any driving environment", and white smoke was a characteristic of normal operation. "

Clutching at straws. Clearly Toyota management and its lawyers have sfa concept of what "reasonable consumers" find acceptable - esp those who outlayed good money for an essentially defective new vehicle.
