AG Weiser leads a bipartisan coalition of 50 AGs in announcing a $149.6M settlement with Mercedes-Benz and Daimler in emissions cheating case

Published Date: Dec 22, 2025

AG Weiser today joined a bipartisan coalition of 50 attorneys general announcing a $149,673,750 settlement with Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler AG for violating state laws prohibiting unfair or deceptive trade practices by marketing, selling and leasing vehicles equipped with illegal and undisclosed emissions defeat devices designed to circumvent emissions standards. The settlement also includes more than $200 million in potential consumer relief. 

“Mercedes-Benz and Daimler deceived consumers and undermined important clean air protections by installing defeat devices in their vehicles. Consumers thought they were driving low pollution vehicles and meeting emissions tests, all the while the hidden defeat software allowed their vehicles to emit higher levels of harmful pollutants during normal driving,” – AG Weiser
