German regulators have given approval for the repair of about 1.1 million more Volkswagen vehicles involved in the diesel scandal, the company said today.
The Federal Motor Transport Authority has OK’ed fixes for the Volkswagen Tiguan and Caddy models, all fitted with 2-liter TDI engines.
So far, German regulators have approved more than 2.5 million VW Group vehicles for the modification since the start of the year.
Volkswagen also is still trying to win the approval of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other regulators for a fix for its U.S. diesel-engine models, including the Chattanooga-made Passat. VW hasn’t sold 2016 diesel versions of the U.S. Passat model because of the diesel emission problems.
The emissions crisis began last September when U.S. authorities said Volkswagen installed defeat devices in software to deceive regulators in more than 500,000 diesel-powered cars in the U.S.
