German regulators have approved fixes to Volkswagen's diesel vehicles in connection with the emission-cheating scandal, the company said today.
Vehicle owners will be informed about the next steps, according to the automaker. In order to ensure that the measures are completed quickly, Volkswagen will begin implementation at the start of 2016, it said.
The 1.2-liter and 2.0-liter engines will get a software update. The 1.6-liter engines will also get a software update. In addition, a "flow rectifier" will be fitted in front of the air mass sensor.
The remedy does not refer to any products or services of Volkswagen Group of America, the company said.
After the measures have been implemented, the vehicles will meet applicable emissions standards, with the aim of achieving the marks without impairing engine output, fuel consumption or performance, the automaker said.
