EPA, California Notify Volkswagen of Clean Air Act Violations

VW may be liable for civil penalties and injunctive relief for the violations alleged in the NOV.

The allegations cover roughly 482,000 diesel passenger cars sold in the United States since 2008.

Affected diesel models include:

  • Jetta (Model Years 2009-2015)
  • Beetle (Model Years 2009-2015)
  • Audi A3 (Model Years 2009-2015)
  • Golf (Model Years 2009-2015)
  • Passat (Model Years 2014-2015)

It is incumbent upon Volkswagen to initiate the process that will fix the cars’ emissions systems. Car owners should know that although these vehicles have emissions exceeding standards, these violations do not present a safety hazard and the cars remain legal to drive and resell. Owners of cars of these models and years do not need to take any action at this time.”
