ELW-ExhaustValve

In our continuing efforts to assure the proper performance of Mercedes-Benz products and to enhance the satisfaction of our customers, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (“MBUSA”) is extending the warranty coverage on the exhaust valve system in certain Model Year (“MY”) vehicles listed below from the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty of 4 years/50,000 miles to 15 years/150,000 miles (whichever occurs first). This extended warranty applies to the condition described below that may necessitate the repair or replacement of components related to the exhaust valve assembly (e.g. exhaust valve, cylinder head).
