VW Submits Plan on Day of EPA Deadline

Hours after admitting to the EPA that an additional 85,000 3.0-liter diesel vehicles were improperly programmed to fraudulently pass U.S. EPA emissions standards, Volkswagen submitted an initial proposal to address the violations affecting the company’s 2.0-liter diesel vehicles.

Neither the EPA or Volkswagen has released details of the proposal to the approximately 500,000 Americans who purchased "clean diesel" 2.0-liter diesel Volkswagen and Audi vehicles between 2009 and 2016. Also not addressed so far is any plan to repair or compensate owners of fraudulently programmed 3.0-liter diesel engines sold during the same time period.

The total number of VW, Audi and Porsche diesel cars and SUVs in the United States that are affected by the hacked software is now approximately 600,000 vehicles.
