    Recently received a postcard in the mail stating there’s a class action lawsuit going on regarding the airbag in certain affected Toyotas.

    The class member ID is:
    73609FXTGWW6Q

    Website scanned via the QR code is:
    https://www.airbagcontrolunitsettlement.com/

    Just wondering if this is legit or bullshit?
    I’m with BS but would like to hear if other have got the same notice and/or their opinion

    These are so legit I have a special place for them the trash can . Even if it is legit it’s not like you are getting some huge settlement.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    It will play out the same way in either case.

    Once you opt in it is possible you get slammed to donate money to help play legal fees to support your case.

    I have never heard that anyone received very much in any of these Class Action Lawsuits in theory it might be possible .

    Only the lawyers make the huge payouts then bill legal fees to only a pittance is left to split with the plaintiffs .

    I got one also. Interesting that the URL on the card shows my VIN as being affected and yet the NHTSB(?) website says no recalls for my VIN...

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    Sometimes I'm inclined to write to the judge objecting to the Class Action simply because the attorneys reap a huge award and members of the Class receive a pittance.
    Not that it has any real effect.

    Free money. Sometimes you don't have to do anything. I know I got $70 from one of them. I think it was a bank error lawsuit. I never saw any harm in getting in on whatever amount of money they were giving out.

    I got one of these too, by the way. I didn't check it out though, even though I meant to.

    It's not a recall, it's a class action lawsuit. Way different.
