The California Air Resources Board has given Volkswagen AG 45 business days to submit a plan to bring its V-6 diesels into compliance with the state’s emission laws.
CARB and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ruled earlier this month that the diesels—which have been used in about 85,000 of the company’s 2009-2015 model Audi, Porsche and VW brand vehicles—were controlled by software designed to cheat emission tests.
VW said last week it expects to be able to fix the targeted engines throughout the U.S. with a software update. The recall will cost about €50 million ($53 million), according to Bloomberg News.
