I recently received in the mail a Mercedes Emissions Litigation Class Action Claim Form. Similar to the VW Class Action a number of years back. I understand that Dodge Diesel also had this happen. Mercedes is requesting that owners bring in the van and the dealer will install an emission modification that updates the emissions control system software on the vehicle. Once done and the claim is submitted then Mercedes will send out a check for up to $3,590.
I talked to VW owners and a Dodge Diesel Truck owner and the told me that having this modification done can drastically change the performance and MPG of the vehicle (in a poor way). The Dodge guy ended up selling his truck because the performance was so poor.
I am obviously interested in the $$ but if my Sprinter is going to run like crap afterwards then I am not going to do it.
Has anybody had the modification done? How is the vehicle running?
Any thoughts on this recall would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
