Charles Breyer, the U.S. District Court judge overseeing Volkswagen AG’s proposed diesel cheating settlement, says he is “strongly inclined” to approve the plan by Oct. 25.
In a hearing on Tuesday in San Francisco, Breyer also granted preliminary approval for a $1.2 billion VW settlement with its U.S. 650 dealers.
The diesel cheating settlement includes as much as $10.6 billion to fix or buy back 475,000 Audi and VW brand vehicles in the U.S. that are powered by 2.0-liter diesel engines. In either case, owners will receive at least $5,100 from VW.
VW says 336,600 owners have signed up for the settlement, 3,200 have opted out and about 500 have filed objections about the deal with the court.
