Volkswagen Emission Scandal — VW Might Recall More Cars Soon

Volkswagen might soon have to recall more cars, as part of an investigation by Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). According to Reuters, the German 'Bild am Sonntag' newspaper reported that KBA had opened up an investigation to check whether a software update on their 1.2-litre engine cars, enabled them to cheat the emission tests.

The Volkswagen managers, who were unnamed by the newspaper, noted that the company had assured that no illegal emission cheat devices were used in the 1.2-litre engine offerings.

This later resulted in the recall of thousands of cars in the USA, along with thousands more worldwide.

Currently, there are 370,000 cars under investigation in Europe alone.
Also, a Volkswagen spokesperson has stated that internal quality control for cars with the 1.2-litre diesel engines has revealed certain irregularities. 

Thoughts On The Volkswagen Emission Scandal Recall

Volkswagen first admitted to cheating in the emission tests in 2015. The German carmaker admitted to using an illegal cheat device, which helped them pass the emission tests. Since then, Volkswagen has had to shell out millions of Euros and recall thousands of cars worldwide to pay for their damages.
