I go the email version of this for my Lexus ES350. When you go to the link there, it gives you some more information. It states that if Lexus offers you the Brake Override System (BOS) on your car model you can then go into Lexus and have that installed. If Lexus does not offer you the BOS, then you are eligible for the $62.50.

For my case, Lexus does offer the BOS for my car so I don't qualify for the money. I don't intend to get the BOS installed because I don't want to lose the ability to press brakes and gas at the simultaneously. I think there can be legit use of this function (i.e. wipe dry the pads/rotors after wet rain).

Remember, if you ever register and get the payout from any of these class action settlements, that usually prevents you from ever suing Toyota/Lexus again for any reason, even a different reason. Read the fine print.

I received the check from Toyota
This the email I received:

"Dear Eligible Toyota Economic Loss Claimant,

Gilardi & Co. LLC (“Gilardi”) is the Court-appointed Class Action Settlement Administrator for the Court-approved settlement in In re: Toyota Motor Corp. Unintended Acceleration Marketing, Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation, Case No. 8:10ML2151 JVS (FMOx). Please be advised that all appeals have been resolved in favor of the settlement and in favor of monetary benefits to Class Members that filed valid claims.

As of March 14, 2014, we have commenced mailing Distribution Payments to eligible Class Members in accordance with the Court-approved Settlement Agreement. Please (i) note that the mailings will be conducted on a rolling basis, over a 5-day period and (ii) allow sufficient time thereafter for postal delivery and potential delivery delays out of our control. Please also note that claimants from whom we require further information to process their claim will be notified by postal mail during the same time period.

Once received, please cash your Distribution Payment promptly, as checks will be void as of the 91st day after the issue date listed on the check. You should consult your tax adviser to determine the tax consequences, if any, of this distribution. Please do not contact Toyota, Lexus, and/or Scion dealers or Toyota regarding this distribution as the Court has ordered that all such questions be directed to the Class Action Settlement Administrator.

Kind Regards,
GILARDI & CO. LLC
Settlement Administrator

Got a check for $125... enough to get my tag renewed, get an oil change and get some car wash stuff. Sweet.

And I'll take my chances. I mean, if the car kills me in the future I won't be able to sue them anyway... lol

Go back an old thread. Just found out today, in addition to $125, some of the components are covered to 150K miles or 10 years.
