PART I – DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION

 

Item  1.

Distribution and pool performance information with respect to the receivables that constitute the assets of Toyota Auto Receivables 2018-B Owner Trust for the distribution period commencing on January 1, 2019 and ending on January 31, 2019 is set forth in the Monthly Servicer’s Certificate that is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1, which Certificate is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item  1A.

Asset-Level Information

The Asset Data File and Asset Related Document filed as Exhibit 102 and Exhibit 103, respectively, to the Form ABS-EE filed by the issuing entity, Toyota Auto Receivables 2018-B Owner Trust, on February 25, 2019 are hereby incorporated by reference into this Form 10-D.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item  2.

Legal Proceedings.

The following three paragraphs are disclosures received from US. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), which serves as the indenture trustee under the indenture for the Toyota Auto Receivables 2018-B Owner Trust transaction.

Since 2014 various plaintiffs or groups of plaintiffs, primarily investors, have filed claims against U.S. Bank in its capacity as trustee or successor trustee (as the case may be) under certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. The plaintiffs or plaintiff groups have filed substantially similar complaints against other RMBS trustees, including Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and Wells Fargo. The complaints against U.S. Bank allege the trustee caused losses to investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers for these RMBS trusts and assert causes of action based upon the trustee’s purported failure to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for alleged breaches of representations and warranties concerning loan quality. The complaints also assert that the trustee failed to notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches of servicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and that the trustee purportedly failed to abide by a heightened standard of care following alleged events of default.

Currently U.S. Bank is a defendant in multiple actions alleging individual or class action claims against the trustee with respect to multiple trusts as described above. Previously, U.S. Bank disclosed that the most substantial case was: BlackRock Balanced Capital Portfolio et al v. U.S. Bank National Association, No. 605204/2015 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.) (class action alleging claims with respect to approximately 770 trusts) and a companion class action case involving additional trusts (collectively, the “BlackRock cases”). In order to avoid the significant burden and expense incurred in defending such a complex case and the uncertainty faced in any litigation, U.S. Bank has entered into a settlement agreement, without admitting any wrongdoing or liability, that will resolve the BlackRock cases following approval of the dismissals by the applicable court. Some of the trusts implicated in the aforementioned BlackRock cases, as well as other trusts, are involved in actions brought by separate groups of plaintiffs related to no more than 100 trusts per case.

U.S. Bank cannot assure you as to the outcome of any of the litigation, or the possible impact of these litigations on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, U.S. Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of losses to investors and that it has meritorious defenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.
