February 2020 – Merchant Law Group LLP has launched Canada-wide class action litigation against Mercedes-Benz Canada Inc and Mercedes-Benz USA LLC on behalf of Canadian residents who currently own or lease (or have previously owned or leased) the certain models of the following Mercedes-Benz vehicles:

Mercedes A-Class, 2004-2012
Mercedes C-Class, 2001-2017
Mercedes CL-Class, 2000-2014
Mercedes CLA-Class, 2013-2017
Mercedes CLK-Class, 2003-2009
Mercedes CLS-Class, 2004-2017
Mercedes E-Class, 2003-2016
Mercedes GL-Class, 2007-2017
Mercedes GLK-Class, 2010-2016
Mercedes M-Class, 2006-2016

Mercedes S-Class, 1999-2017
Mercedes SL-Class, 2003-2012
Mercedes SLK-Class, 2004-2016

This class action alleges that, due to a design flaw, the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems (HVAC systems) in the vehicles fail to properly evaporate or drain condensation that accumulates within them, creating a moist, hospitable environment for the growth of bacteria, fungus, mold, and spores.  Drivers of the vehicles affected by the Mercedez Benz HVAC defect report complaints of musky, mildew, and moldy odors.
