Toyota could end up paying more than $2 billion to customers as part of a class action that challenged the auto giant over faulty diesel particulate filters in some of its top-selling cars.

Some drivers may be entitled to more compensation due to having to take time off work to fix their car, or a loss of fuel efficiency.

Diesel particulate filters are designed to capture and burn off harmful pollutants before they get released into the air. The faulty DPFs instead caused cars to spew out foul-smelling white smoke and had to be serviced or repaired."At every step, we believe that we have implemented customer focused and technically grounded remedies to resolve customers' concerns," they said in a statement.

The class action also claimed using the vehicles was costing people money, because of excess fuel consumption and needing to take time off work to get the DPF fixed.In 2019, mechanics told the ABC they had been inundated with complaints about toxic exhaust and fuel efficiency problems from Hilux, Fortuner, and Prado drivers.
