Catalytic Converter: Service Precautions

OS49.10-P-1000-01A Notes on Disposing of Catalytic Converters


Catalytic converters must not be disposed of as regular scrap. The catalytic converter contains valuable rare metals, which can be recycled in the production process.

Since 2.1.1989, DaimlerChrysler has offered a return facility with a refund payment for old catalytic convertors.

Catalytic converters have been included in the exchange price list (valid as of 2.1.1989) and provided with the footnote "Order new parts - delivery of exchange parts not possible".

Details about returns addresses and final change prices can be taken from "Information about parts and accessories".
