If you bought or leased a Mercedes-Benz or Sprinter BlueTEC II diesel vehicle, you may be Eligible for a Cash Payment from Mercedes-Benz & Bosch Class Action Settlements.
Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (the “Mercedes Defendants”) and Robert Bosch GmbH and Robert Bosch LLC (the “Bosch Defendants”) have reportedly agreed to two class action settlements of a class action lawsuit filed against them in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, styled In re Mercedes-Benz Emissions Litigation, No. 2:16-cv-881-KM-ESK (D.N.J.), alleging, among other things, that certain Mercedes-Benz and Sprinter BlueTEC II diesel vehicles were equipped with emission control systems that caused the vehicles to emit more nitrogen oxides (“NOx”) than consumers reasonably expected, and more NOx than was permitted under federal and state clean air laws.
Who Is Included In The Mercedes-Benz & Bosch Diesel Nitrogen Oxide NOx Emissions Class Action Settlement?
The Mercedes-Benz & Bosch Diesel Nitrogen Oxide NOx Emissions class action settlements reportedly include, unless otherwise excluded, the following settlement class:

What Settlement Benefits Does The Mercedes-Benz & Bosch Diesel Nitrogen Oxide NOx Emissions Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Provide?
Under the Mercedes-Benz & Bosch lawsuit settlements, class members can file claims to recover cash payments of up to $3,590 or more (for current owners and lessees) and up to $897.50 (for former owners and lessees). The amount of the payments depend on, among other things, when the class members began owning or leasing and registered Subject Vehicles, whether the vehicles are owned or leased at the time the AEM is installed, whether and if so, when, the vehicles were sold, transferred, or surrendered, whether another class member submits a valid claim for the same vehicles and how much attorneys fees and costs are awarded by the Court. For additional information on the settlement payment amounts, check out the long form settlement notice.
To claim a Class Member Payment under the Class Action Settlements, settlement class members must submit a Valid Claim online or via mail by the applicable deadline.
In addition, current owners and lessees of subject vehicles can reportedly get, from a separate settlement with federal and California regulators, an agency approved emission modification free of charge and an extended modification warranty.
