How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- — Your Mercedes-Benz vehicle's model year (2015 or newer depending on your state), make, and model as shown on your registration or title (Your vehicle registration document, title, or the window sticker)
- — The Section 177 state where your vehicle was registered when the covered repair or diagnosis occurred (Your vehicle registration document from the time of the service)
- — The exact name of the covered part(s) from the settlement's list of fourteen subject parts that were diagnosed, repaired, or replaced (Your itemized repair order or invoice — the part name must appear on the service documentation)
- — The date the service was performed and the vehicle's odometer reading at the time, confirming the service occurred between four years/50,000 miles and seven years/70,000 miles (Your repair order or invoice, which typically records both the service date and odometer reading)
- — The exact dollar amount you paid out of pocket for the qualified repair, replacement, or diagnosis (Your receipt, credit card statement, or zero-balance invoice from the service)
- — Choose electronic payment or paper check mailed to the address you provide on the claim form (Your preference — select at the time of filing)
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- The model year coverage start date varies by state — Colorado starts at model year 2022 and Minnesota, Nevada, and Virginia start at model year 2025, so check your state's specific model year cutoff before filing
- Repairs or diagnoses for pre-notice repairs (before March 16, 2026) had a filing deadline of May 15, 2026 — verify which deadline window applies to your specific service date
- Repairs or diagnoses that occurred after the notice date but before the settlement's effective date require a separate claim submitted within sixty days of the service date
- Electric vehicles are excluded from the HPP warranty coverage under this settlement
- If you did not pay out of pocket — meaning Mercedes-Benz covered the cost under warranty — you are not eligible for reimbursement under this settlement
- Only the fourteen specifically named subject parts are covered; other emissions or non-emissions parts are not eligible
