Volkswagen group announces that nearly 1.2 million vehicles in the UK are affected by the diesel emissions scandal

Volkswagen is planning a significant refit for affected cars, which involves developing a technical fix that must be approved by EU regulators by the end of October. The company will inform customers to bring their cars in for updates, where a master system will be used to remove the defeat device and update the car's software. The refit aims to address emissions issues without compromising performance, but details on whether it will be compulsory remain unclear. Volkswagen assures that all cars are safe and roadworthy.
