Carmaker Mercedes-Benz must pay compensation for unauthorized so-called defeat devices in diesel cars if the buyer suffers damages, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled on Tuesday.
must pay compensation for unauthorized so-called defeat devices in diesel cars if the buyer suffers damages, the European Court of Justice ruled on Tuesday.
However, if a defeat device is found to be illegal and the buyer of a vehicle with such a device has suffered damages as a result of the purchase, the carmaker is obliged to provide them with compensation, it added, with member states responsible for upholding that right. A Mercedes-Benz spokesperson said in response to the ruling that it remained to be seen how national courts would apply the European court's decision to federal law.
The case was brought to a court in Ravensburg, Germany by the purchaser of a used Mercedes whose exhaust gas recirculation system operated within a certain temperature range but reduced recirculation in lower temperatures, leading to increased nitrogen oxide emissions.
