The eXpertUpfitter bears sole responsibility for all required testing, certifications, and safety-related performance of their products and upfitted vehicles. Any information provided by you, the upfitter, to Mercedes-Benz Vans is solely for the purpose of assessing whether the upfitter is capable and willing to comply with Mercedes-Benz recommendations.
