ST. PAUL, Minn. — Attorney General Keith Ellison says Minnesota will receive nearly $500,000 of the $150 million won in a nationwide settlement with Mercedes-Benz over emissions fraud.
The company admitted to using illegal software to cheat emissions tests on diesel vehicles sold between 2008 and 2016. About 1,600 vehicles in Minnesota are affected.
Owners can get free emissions-modification software and a $2,000 dollar payment if repairs are completed by Aug. 31 and claims filed by Sept. 30.
