Evidence of life at NHTSA:

Evidence is consistent with a last minute settlement of the case just before VW was due to give more documents to NHTSA.

Something may be imminent. A link I had for search of EA11003 documents, which formerly returned a couple of dozen hits, is suddenly returning nothing. The former PE, now an EA, may be about to become whatever phase is next (which might be: close with no action, recall, or something else).
A translation of a large dump of responsive documents, including answers to pointed NHTSA questions, was due from VW on 01 June. Obviously, the public did not see anything on that date.
There's pretty much no upside for VW in having any part of those documents made public. If they can get away will not submitting, they will. If they can stall or submit late, they will. If they can submit on paper, they will. If they have to submit PDF, and can get away with egregious redaction, they will.
So don't drum your fingers. They'll get sore.
