Roy O’Connor LLP is investigating concerns regarding mold growth in the heating, air conditioning and ventilation system in a number of Mercedes-Benz models that may lead to the presence of unpleasant or noxious odors in the vehicles’ interiors.

Mercedes-Benz vehicles under investigation include:

• 2008-19 C-Class
• 2010-15 GLK Class
• 2012-17 CLS-Class
• 2010-19 E-Class
• 2015-19 GLA-Class
• 2013-16 GL Class
• 2016-19 GLE-Class
• 2017-19 GLS-Class
• 2012-15 M-Class
• 2016-19 GLC-Class

According to reports and court documents originating in the United States, the HVAC systems in the vehicles listed above are allegedly defective as they allow the buildup of condensation encouraging the growth of mildew and mold within the HVAC system. The mold produces noxious smelling mycotoxins which may also pose a risk to human health.

Roy O’Connor LLP was one of the firms prosecuting the claims as against Volkswagen for its diesel emission scandal.  Our firm is alive to concerns about the safety and performance of automotive vehicles and other issues.

If you own or lease one of the vehicles listed above, please contact Adam Dewar at Roy O’Connor LLP at either 416 362 1989 or jad@royoconnor.ca
