(Bloomberg) — Volkswagen AG reached an agreement with U.S. car owners and regulators to fix or buy back about 80,000 Audi, VW and Porsche vehicles with emissions-cheating 3.0-liter diesel engines.
The accord covering the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg, some 2015 Porsche models and some 2016 Audi models resolves another significant piece of Volkswagen's emissions-cheating scandal. The company admitted last year that about 11 million diesel cars worldwide were outfitted with a so-called defeat device to game U.S. environmental tests.
Details of the agreement, including its cost to the German carmaker, weren't disclosed during a brief hearing Tuesday in San Francisco federal court. Some details of the agreement would be disclosed in court filings later Tuesday, the judge said.
