VW emissions issue extends to additional 75,000 vehicles

Volkswagen AG (VOWG_p.DE) has told U.S. regulators that emissions issues in larger luxury cars and SUVs extend to an additional 75,000 vehicles dating back to 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said on Friday. The disclosure widened the VW scandal, which had previously focussed mainly on smaller-engined, mass-market cars, and raised the possibility that engineers at both the Audi and VW brands could have been involved in separate emissions schemes.
