If you bought or leased a Mercedes-Benz or Sprinter BlueTEC II diesel vehicle, you may be eligible for a cash payment from Class Action Settlements
 

Important Update: On July 12, 2021, the Court granted Final Approval of the Mercedes Class Action Settlement and the Bosch Class Action Settlement.

Who is included in the Class?

If you purchased or leased and Registered a Subject Vehicle in the United States, you may be a Class Member and eligible for a cash payment even if you no longer own or lease the Subject Vehicle.

The Class is composed of all current and former owners or lessees of Subject Vehicles who:

• On or before September 14, 2020 owned or leased and Registered a Subject Vehicle;

or

• After September 14, 2020 began owning or leasing and Register a Subject Vehicle for which an AEM has not been installed.

The Class includes automobile dealers and resellers who meet either of the above qualifications for Class membership (including registration of the Subject Vehicle).

 *The Bosch Class Action Settlement payments have been reduced by 25% for attorneys’ fees and costs awarded by the Court (see FAQ 33) 

*** CURRENT OWNERS/LESSEES MUST HAVE THE AEM INSTALLED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE PAYMENT ***

Certain persons (including individuals and entities) are excluded from the Class, even if they meet the Class definition. For more information, see FAQ 3.

The specific vehicles (the "Subject Vehicles") are listed below:

HOW CAN I GET A PAYMENT?
Current owners and lessees must have an AEM installed to receive the cash payments. Installation of the AEM is available free of charge to you and you will receive an Extended Modification Warranty after the installation. If you are a current owner or lessee of a Registered Subject Vehicle and have not opted out of the Class, you can receive a payment by (1) having the AEM installed on your vehicle and (2) submitting a Valid Claim by October 1, 2022. Here are the steps to receive a payment:
	1.	Once an AEM for your vehicle is available, contact your preferred authorized dealership to schedule an appointment to have the AEM installed. Authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships can be found at www.mbusa.com/en/dealers. If you are a Freightliner Sprinter owner, you can check www.freightlinersprinterusa.com/freightliner/shopping-tools/find-a-dealer for authorized dealerships in your area. You can check whether an AEM is available for your vehicle here. As AEMs for other vehicles become available, owners and lessees of those vehicles will receive another mailed notice. You may continue to monitor this website, register for updates, or call 1-877-313-0170 to find out whether an AEM is available for your vehicle. Registration on this website alone does not constitute a Valid Claim for cash benefits. If you wish to claim a Class Member Payment, you must submit a Valid Claim by the applicable due date, even if you have registered on this website for updates.
	2.	Bring your vehicle to your appointment for installation of the AEM.  You must complete the AEM installation before you submit a claim.  Make sure to keep your repair order to submit with your claim, as well as receipts for any travel to and from the dealership for the AEM installation.  If your appointment takes three hours or more and you are not offered a loaner vehicle, shuttle, or alternative form of transportation, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement up to $35 for travel expenses.
	3.	Submit a Valid Claim Form and all required documents by clicking here or by mail to: MB Blue Tec Settlement c/o JND Legal Administration PO Box 91310 Seattle, WA 98111

If you are a former owner or lessee of a Registered Subject Vehicle, the deadline to submit a Valid Claim was July 12, 2021, and has passed.
