The AEMs are the result of a separate settlement between Mercedes and federal and California regulators (US-CA Consent Decree).Īdditionally, a customer must submit a valid claim to receive a cash payment from the emissions settlement. To be eligible for a cash payment from the class action settlement, a current owner or lessee must first have an “Approved Emission Modification” (AEM) installed in their vehicle.Īn AEM is an emission control system modification approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Mercedes denies all legal claims and denies all allegations of wrongdoing or liability. The plaintiffs also claim Mercedes-Benz intentionally misled consumers about the vehicles that were allegedly easy on the environment.
