VW Emissions Recall: Initial Tests Reveal Minimal Impact for Consumers

The FIA says that tests conducted by its member clubs in Europe provide reassurance to car owners that their vehicles should not be adversely affected by the current recall, in response to the Volkswagen emissions scandal.

Andrew McKellar, FIA secretary-general for Automobile Mobility and Tourism, said, “Given the magnitude of this scandal the test results are arguably surprising. Based on these initial results, affected car owners should be able to go ahead with the recall service, and we call on the relevant manufacturers to expedite this process.”
