Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is investigating potential consumer class action claims on behalf of owners and lessees of Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vehicles, Model Years 2019-2020.
Owners and lessees of Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Vehicles, Model Years 2019-2020, are encouraged to contact Kehoe Law Firm, P.C., Michael Yarnoff, Esq., (215) 792-6676, Ext. 804, [email protected], [email protected], to learn more about the Firm’s investigation or potential legal claims.
Recently, a class action lawsuit was filed against Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. and Toyota Motor North America, Inc. for alleged sales of 2019-2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vehicles with defective fuel tanks. Allegedly, Model year 2019 and 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vehicles “contain a defect that prevents the gas tank from being filled to capacity.” According to the lawsuit, “Toyota advertises the RAV4 Hybrid as having a 14.5 gallon tank. However, a flaw in the fuel system routinely prevents the [Model Year 2019 and 2020 Toyota RAV Hybrid vehicles] from accepting more than 10 gallons of gas, often times far less, before the pump is triggered to prematurely shut off, even when the low fuel light is illuminated . . ..”
According to the class action lawsuit, “[t]he Fuel Tank Defect effectively reduces the usable tank capacity of these hybrid SUV’s to 10 gallons or less, drastically reducing their driving range, a major selling point and for which customers pay a premium.” According to the lawsuit, “Toyota advertises [Model year 2019 and 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vehicles] as having a 14.5 gallon tank that averages 41/38/40 mpg,” . . . and “[a] vehicle advertised as having a 14.5 gallon tank and as getting 40 mpg has a driving range of 580 miles.”
Importantly, the lawsuit alleges that “[a]s a result of the Fuel Tank Defect, owners and lessees are not obtaining the fuel tank capacity or the driving range promised by Toyota, for which they pay a premium.”

On February 5, 2020, AOSL issued a press release which, among other things, stated:
The Company notes that Department of Justice recently commenced an investigation into the Company’s compliance with export control regulations relating to certain business transactions with Huawei and its affiliates (“Huawei”), which were added to the “Entity List” by the Department of Commerce (“DOC”). The Company is cooperating fully with federal authorities in the investigation. The Company has maintained an export control compliance program and has been committed to comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations. In connection with this investigation, DOC has requested the Company to suspend shipments of its products to Huawei, and the Company is currently working with DOC to resolve this issue. Accordingly, [AOSL] expect[s] the financial performance in the March quarter will be negatively impacted by the Huawei shipment interruption and by additional professional fees incurred in connection with the investigation. [AOSL] note[s] that the DOC order applies to only [its] shipment to Huawei and sales to other non-Huawei customers are expected to continue, unaffected by the order. Since this is a pending and confidential matter, the Company does not intend to comment further on the status of this investigation except as required by law. [Emphasis added.]
