The list is based on information from Daimler, and we understand that there could be additional models that may also be affected. There are as many as 670,000 vehicles affected across Europe, which means that a lot of models are involved. If your vehicle is on this list, you may be eligible to make a Mercedes diesel emissions claim for compensation as part of the legal action that we have launched.

Have you received a recall notification?

Whether your vehicle is on the list from Daimler or not, you should be eligible to launch a Mercedes diesel emissions claim with us if you have received a recall notification.

The recalls are in relation to software and technical updates related to emissions irregularities. It’s important to know that some carmakers have previously completed recall work and not made this clear to customers. It could be that ‘technical measures’ are applied during a routine service, for example. As such, it’s important to watch out for this and to check any work that has been carried out. If you are ever unsure, ask for specific information from the garage.

Make sure you keep any evidence you have as well – whether this is a copy of a recall notification or a copy of any documentation about work carried out. Although it’s not essential to have this to be able to claim, it could be useful.
