Volkswagen and Audi must now initiate a recall to fix the emissions systems in eight diesel vehicle models:
Already facing up to $18 billion in fines from the EPA, Volkswagen is now the subject of a U.S. Department of Justice criminal investigation. Volkswagen’s CEO, Martin Winterkorn, resigned less than one week after the EPA announced VW’s Clean Air Act violations. It has yet to be determined if company executives will be prosecuted over their involvement in the scandal.
Volkswagen and Audi cars with the four-cylinder CleanDiesel TDI engine were more expensive than equivalent models with gasoline engines. Many buyers purchased the vehicles because they believed they were getting vehicles with better gas mileage, lower emissions, and higher resale values. Unfortunately, owners didn’t get what they paid for.
Worse yet, VW’s proposed emissions system fix—a software upgrade—may reduce vehicle performance, a factor that could damage resale values of recalled vehicles.
