What does the Plan cover?

The Plan is our promise to you that Mercedes-Benz will repair or replace manufacturing defects in material or workmanship which arise during the warranty period free of charge.

However, the Plan only covers the vehicle as manufactured by us and does not cover any modification, accessories, bodies, or other goods or services supplied by a third party manufacturer or supplier.

What doesn't the Plan cover?

If the defective materials or workmanship do not relate to manufacture, then the repair or replacement of the defect won't be covered by the Plan. This means that the Plan will not cover defects caused by the following, which is a summary of the main exclusions, please see the Owner Protection Plan for more detail.

Ignoring any instructions contained in the owner's manual or failing to correctly respond to any warning lights or messages in the vehicle that appear on the dashboard information system
If you misuse your vehicle - including not driving it in accordance with the instructions in the owner's manual, driving at excessive speeds, engaging in competition or motor sports or exceeding the vehicle’s capacity in regards to use, application or load.
Failing to service or maintain the vehicle according to the instructions or at the prescribed intervals as defined in the owner's manual.
If servicing, maintenance or repairs are performed by a non-authorised Mercedes-Benz retailer which causes a defect.
Modifications in engine output or vehicle specifications without Mercedes-Benz’s approval.
If a defect is caused by non-genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts, accessories, supplies or service products which are not approved by Mercedes-Benz.
If a defect is caused by any modification, bodywork alterations or incorrect fitting of an accessory to your original Mercedes-Benz after its manufacture by a non-authorised Mercedes-Benz retailer. Third party products or services may be covered by a warranty provided by the relevant third party manufacturer or supplier. Your authorised Mercedes-Benz retailer may be able to provide you with contact details so that you can enquire as to whether a third party warranty may apply.
Defects caused by improper care or cleaning methods or the use of cleaning materials, fuels or lubricants not approved by Mercedes-Benz.
If a defect is a result of normal wear and tear on items and consumables such as spark plugs, wiper blades, lubricants, brake pads, brake discs, clutches and tyres.
If a defect is caused by external influences such as plant and animal substances, storms, hail, bird or animal droppings, pollution or other environmental impacts, or from events such as salt water ingress, accident damage or vandalism.
In addition, the Plan does not cover damage to glass, except in the event of a stress fracture.

When does the Plan cease to apply?

The Plan will cease to apply if the:

Vehicle is assessed as a write off, repairable write off or total loss;

How do I get assistance to correct a manufacturing defect?

At Mercedes-Benz we are all about getting you back on the road as quickly and effortlessly as possible.

Present the vehicle to an authorised Mercedes-Benz retailer immediately or as soon as practicable after a defect arises that may be due to a manufacturing defect.
Repair work under the Plan must be carried out by an authorised Mercedes-Benz retailer using Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts.
You must permit the authorised Mercedes-Benz retailer to fully inspect the vehicle. Some repairs, diagnosis or replication of the defect may not be possible with only one inspection, so you may need to make more than one visit to an authorised Mercedes-Benz retailer.
