PURSUANT
TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION J(2) THE FOLLOWING SUBSTITUTE INFORMATION IS BEING PROVIDED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 10-K:



Item 1112(b)
of Regulation AB. Significant Obligors of Pool Assets – Financial Information.



Nothing
to report.



Item 1114(b)(2)
of Regulation AB. Credit Enhancement and Other Support, Except for Certain Derivatives Instruments – Financial Information.



Nothing
to report.



Item 1115(b)
of Regulation AB. Certain Derivatives Instruments – Financial Information.



Nothing
to report.



Item 1117
of Regulation AB. Legal Proceedings.



There
are no legal proceedings pending, or any proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, against the Sponsor,
the Depositor, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “Indenture Trustee”), Wilmington Trust, National
Association (the “Owner Trustee”), Mercedes-Benz Vehicle Trust (the “Titling Trust”), Collateral Title
Co. (the “Collateral Agent”), the Issuing Entity, or any other party contemplated by Item 1117 of Regulation
AB or any property thereof, that are material to holders of the Asset Backed Notes issued by the Issuing Entity (the “Notes”),
except to the extent set forth below with respect to the Indenture Trustee.



The
Indenture Trustee has provided the information contained in the following five paragraphs for purposes of compliance with Regulation
AB:



U.S.
Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) and other large financial institutions have been sued in their capacity as
trustee or successor trustee for certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. The complaints, primarily
filed by investors or investor groups against U.S. Bank and similar institutions, allege the trustees caused losses to investors
as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers to comply with the governing agreements for
these RMBS trusts. Plaintiffs generally assert causes of action based upon the trustees’ purported failures to enforce repurchase
obligations of mortgage loan sellers for alleged breaches of representations and warranties, notify securityholders of purported
events of default allegedly caused by breaches of servicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and abide by a heightened standard
of care following alleged events of default.



U.S.
Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions
were not the cause of losses to investors, that it has meritorious defenses, and it has contested and intends to continue contesting
the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously. However, U.S. Bank cannot assure you as to the outcome of any of the litigation, or the
possible impact of these litigations on the trustee or the RMBS trusts.



On
March 9, 2018, a law firm purporting to represent fifteen Delaware statutory trusts (the “DSTs”) that issued securities
backed by student loans (the “Student Loans”) filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against U.S. Bank
National Association (“U.S. Bank”) in its capacities as indenture trustee and successor special servicer, and three
other institutions in their respective transaction capacities, with respect to the DSTs and the Student Loans. This lawsuit is
captioned The National Collegiate Student Loan Master Trust I, et al. v. U.S. Bank National Association, et al., C.A. No. 2018-0167-JRS
(Del. Ch.) (the “NCMSLT Action”). The complaint, as amended on June 15, 2018, alleged that the DSTs have been harmed
as a result of purported misconduct or omissions by the defendants concerning administration of the trusts and special servicing
of the Student Loans. Since the filing of the NCMSLT Action, certain Student Loan borrowers have made assertions against U.S.
Bank concerning special servicing that appear to be based on certain allegations made on behalf of the DSTs in the NCMSLT Action.



U.S.
Bank has filed a motion seeking dismissal of the operative complaint in its entirety with prejudice pursuant to Chancery Court
Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) or, in the alternative, a stay of the case while other prior filed disputes involving the DSTs and
the Student Loans are litigated. On November 7, 2018, the Court ruled that the case should be stayed in its entirety pending resolution
of the first-filed cases. On January 21, 2020, the Court entered an order consolidating for pretrial purposes the NCMSLT Action
and three other lawsuits pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery concerning the DSTs and the Student Loans, which remains pending.



U.S.
Bank denies liability in the NCMSLT Action and believes it has performed its obligations as indenture trustee and special servicer
in good faith and in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the agreements governing the DSTs and that it has meritorious
defenses. It has contested and intends to continue contesting the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.



Item 1119
of Regulation AB. Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.



The
Depositor is an affiliate of Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA (“MBFS USA”), which acts as Sponsor, Servicer, Administrator
and Titling Trust Administrator. MBFS USA is the sole equity member of the Depositor. Mercedes-Benz Trust Holdings LLC (“Holdings”),
the Initial Beneficiary of the Titling Trust, is also a wholly owned subsidiary of MBFS USA. The Indenture Trustee is an affiliate
of the Collateral Agent. Other than as set forth in the following four paragraphs, there is not currently, and there was not during
the past two years, any material business relationship, agreement, arrangement, transaction or understanding that is or was entered
into outside the ordinary course of business or is or was on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction
with an unrelated third party, between any of the Titling Trust, Holdings, MBFS USA or the Issuing Entity.



Item 1122
of Regulation AB. Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.



Each
of the Sponsor, in its capacity as Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee (together with the Sponsor in its capacity as Servicer,
each, a “Servicing Participant”) has been identified by the registrant as a party participating in the servicing function
during the reporting period with respect to the pool assets held by the Issuing Entity. Each Servicing Participant has completed
a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such Servicing Participant (each, a “Report
on Assessment”) as of December 31, 2023, and for the reporting period, which Reports on Assessment are attached as
Exhibits 33.1 and 33.2 to this report on Form 10-K. In addition, each Servicing Participant has provided an attestation report
(each, an “Attestation Report”) by a registered independent public accounting firm on its Report on Assessment. The
Attestation Reports are attached as Exhibits 34.1 and 34.2 to this report on Form 10-K. The Report on Assessment prepared
by the Indenture Trustee and the Attestation Report provided by the Indenture Trustee did not identify any material instances
of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Indenture Trustee. The Report on Assessment prepared by the Servicer
and the Attestation Report provided by the Servicer did not identify any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing
criteria applicable to the Servicer.



Item 1123
of Regulation AB. Servicing Compliance Statement.



The
Servicer has completed a statement of compliance with its obligations under the applicable servicing agreement (a “Compliance
Statement”) signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer. The Compliance Statement is attached as Exhibit 35.1 to this
report on Form 10-K.
