Mercedes-Benz Group AG said it expects to be let off the hook for any fines after blowing the whistle to European Union antitrust regulators probing suspected collusion in the collection and recycling of scrapped cars and vans.

The carmaker announced its involvement after the EU revealed on Tuesday that its antitrust officials had conducted so-called dawn raids on the premises of companies and associations.
