Parts are currently available for the Emission Modifications which have been approved by EPA and CARB.  We will provide updates as parts become available for other vehicle models.

Regarding all other future vehicle categories, MBUSA is working with EPA and CARB to obtain approvals for the Emission Modification.  MBUSA will notify Dealers upon approval of each Emission Modification that the Emission Modification has become available.

For up-to-date parts availability information, please refer to the website https://BlueTecUpdate.mbusa.com.

 

Are there any known vehicle symptoms associated with the Emission Modification that Owners or Lessees will notice that should lead them to stop driving  or take their vehicle to a Dealer?

No.  There are no symptoms related to the Emission Modification.

 

What is the expected impact on an Owner’s or Lessee’s vehicle after the Emission Modification has been performed?

Details on the impact to vehicles are provided in the letter for each Emission Modification Category.  A copy of the Owner/Lessee letter for the EMC subject to this FAQ is attached.

 

What types of repairs or replacements are needed?

Authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealers will replace specific emissions-related components.  This varies by model and model year.  For more information, please visit https://BlueTecUpdate.mbusa.com.

 

How long does this Emission Modification take?

Replacement time is dependent upon the model and model year.  This time may range from 30 minutes to a maximum of 6 hours.  Details are provided in the Owner/Lessee notification letter.

 

What if vehicles have been modified using after-market parts and/or software? Can the Emission Modification still be performed?

If, prior to receiving the Emission Modification, the vehicle has been modified in a manner that impedes the installation of the AEM or substantially affects the operation of the AEM after install (for example, removal of original emissions components not part of the AEM), dealers might not be able to perform the Emission Modification until the prior modifications are corrected.  The Owners/Lessees would be responsible for such corrections.  Once corrected, the vehicle may receive the Emission Modification.

 

What if Owners or Lessees decline to have the Emission Modification performed?

If Owners/Lessees decline the Emission Modification at this time, they will be advised by their authorized MercedesBenz Dealer that certain emissions-related replacement and repair parts (for their existing system) may no longer be available from Mercedes-Benz at some point in the future.  Additionally, the current vehicle Owner/Lessee will not be able to make a compensation claim as part of the proposed class action settlement without first having the Emission Modification performed on their vehicle.

 

Will eligible vehicles have any warranty on the Emission Modification?

Yes.  Once the Emission Modification is performed, certain components will have an extended warranty for the greater of 4 years/48,000 miles from the date of installation of the Emission Modification or 10 years/120,000 miles from the initial sale date of the vehicle.  As described in the Customer Letter, some emission-related components have an additional extended warranty period, which is added to the applicable Extended Modification Warranty period above.  This extended warranty remains with the vehicle and is fully transferable to subsequent owners until expiration.  Where loaner vehicles are available, Dealers are requested to offer loaner vehicles to each Eligible Owner and Eligible Lessee at no cost where extended warranty repairs exceed three hours to complete.

 

Can Owners or Lessees be denied coverage under the Extended Warranty for the Emission Modification?   The Extended Warranty for the Emission Modification may be denied if an eligible vehicle has been altered with the use of any after-market emissions-related components, parts, and/or software, or with the removal of any original emissions-related components, parts, and/or software, and such alteration(s) are likely to substantially affect the operation of the vehicle with the Emission Modifications, until the owner of such vehicle, at his or her expense, has reversed the alteration(s) such that the Emission Modification will not be substantially affected.

1.3 Perform Pre-Inspection

    Follow the Xentry procedure “Emission Modification Pre-Inspection”: “Control units view → N3/9 – Motor electronics ‘CR42’ for combustion engine ‘OM651 (CDI) → Special procedures → Service Measure “Exhaust aftertreatment system” → Pre-Inspection

 

Record findings on workorder and save to paperless

 

Note: goal of the pre-inspection process is to perform an inspection of the emission system and ensure all components are present and functioning correctly (Check engine light “CEL” ON/OFF).  The pre-inspection consists of the following procedures as displayed in the below flowchart:

 

  1. Visual inspection of the emissions system to check for non-compliant alterations to the emission system that impedes the installation of the AEM or substantially effects the operation of the AEM after installation. This consists of a brief visual inspection and does not require a technician to confirm if components are operating correctly. (Example: missing emission system components not replaced as part of the AEM)
    1. If an alteration has been found during the visual inspection that meet the criteria mentioned in point 1, please advise the customer these alterations must be reversed at their expense before to proceed with the AEM. Please follow the below process to submit a warranty claim for the time associated to diagnosis and provide an estimate to the customer.

 

Warranty Documentation Process:

  1. Claim against damage code 4910N 01 – Approved Emission Modification Denial
  2. Up to 2 hours of diagnostic time permitted
  3. Ensure diagnostic time is properly punched on the RO
  4. Ensure RO is documented properly including a detailed explanation as to why the modification was denied
  5. Attach the RO to the warranty claim

 

  1. Initial Short Test to check for CEL ON/OFF: Pre-existing issues (CEL ON) may be addressed at the time of AEM install if the components diagnosed are part of the AEM or extended warranty. For all other components, please provide a customer a repair estimate and document if the customer approves/declines the additional repair(s). It is essential the AEM is installed regardless if the customer approved/declines additional repairs to address a pre-existing issue.  A list of applicable extended warranty parts is available in Xentry for the technician to refer to.
