VW Reportedly Ready to Fix Cars Built to Cheat Government Tests
Volkswagen dealers say the automaker will update software, add other fixes to vehicles built to cheat emissions tests.
Executives with Volkswagen reportedly say they have a plan to fix vehicles that were designed to cheat government emissions standards.
Volkswagen admits it built some vehicles with software that turned emission controls on during government testing and then turned the controls off when the vehicle was on the road.
Now some dealers say the automaker has informed them they will change those vehicles by updating computer software and adding larger catalytic converters.
Dealers say the plan must still be approved by the federal government and the California Air Resources Board.
Volkswagen agreed last month to offer owners of the cars involved the choice of either having the vehicle upgraded or selling the vehicle back at the price it was worth before the cheating scandal became public.
Volkswagen is also suspending sales of most models in South Korea.
Officials there are deciding whether to revoke certification for Volkswagen and its Audi brand and have issued a warrant for the arrest of an executive with the automaker who is connected to the cheating scandal.
