Volkswagen AG and its Audi unit have submitted a plan to California and federal regulators to fix 85,000 diesel-powered vehicles in the U.S. equipped to evade nitrogen oxides emission standards.
The plan covers Audi, Porsche and VW brand models powered by 3.0-liter V-6 diesels and sold in the 2009-2015 model years. Specifics about the proposal were not released. Audi, which developed the engine, said last November it hoped to bring the engines into regulatory compliance with a software update.
Meanwhile, VW has not yet reached an agreement with federal or California regulators about repairing another 482,000 vehicles—all powered by 2.0-liter 4-cylinder diesels—that also were rigged to cheat NOx standards.
Last month both regulators rejected VW’s planned array of remedies for those vehicles. Neither side has indicated when a resolution is likely.
