How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- — The unique ID provided in your incentive program notice letter. (The notice letter mailed to you by the claims administrator.)
- — The PIN provided alongside your unique ID in the incentive program notice letter. (The notice letter mailed to you by the claims administrator.)
- — Upload current vehicle title (if you still own), bill of sale (if sold), or lease agreement (if leased). (Your vehicle title is typically kept with your registration documents; bill of sale from the dealership or private sale; lease agreement from your leasing company.)
- — Upload the final repair order from the authorized Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner Sprinter dealer confirming AEM installation. (Request a copy from the dealership where the AEM was installed; it is typically provided at vehicle pickup.)
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- AEM installation MUST be completed before you submit the claim — submitting before installation is complete will disqualify you.
- Installations completed before Aug. 1, 2023 are excluded and cannot be claimed.
- Only one payment is issued per vehicle — multiple claimants on the same vehicle cannot each receive the full payment.
- If you already received an incentive payment for a prior AEM installation incentive program after Aug. 1, 2023, you are excluded from filing again.
- Accepted file formats for uploaded documents are limited; ensure your files are jpg, jpeg, png, gif, tif, tiff, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, pdf, txt, rtf, or zip and do not exceed 20MB each.
- The claim must be submitted online — mail-in claims are not mentioned as an option.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
