So you replaced that expensive Mercedes-Benz part in your Mercedes-Benz a few months ago, only to find out that it has recently been recalled. Should you be reimbursed by the manufacturer for the Mercedes-Benz part you just had repaired?

In short, yes. Your vehicle’s manufacturer will cover the replacement of the recalled part, as long as you went to a qualified mechanic who used original equipment factory (OEM) parts for the repair.

According to this article, “Federal regulations state that automakers are required to reimburse for costs to fix a defect as long as receipts for the repairs are submitted.”
