In another setback for Volkswagen/Audi and Porsche related
to their emissions cheating scandal, the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
announced yesterday that it had rejected proposed recall plans submitted by the
companies as incomplete and deficient in several areas.
The plans were made to address the repair of certain
Auxiliary Emission Control Devices (AECDs) and defeat devices in 3.0 liter, diesel
passenger cars made for model years 2009 – 2016. Approximately 16,000
Volkswagens, Audis and Porsches sold in California are affected by this
decision.

The decision was unexpected by many following the case
because CARB had recently
approved plans submitted by the companies for 2.0 liter diesel vehicles.
