Just heard today how VW plans to have everyone fixed up by the end of next year using mostly software updates with some hardware fixes as well. I suspect the majority of owners will see a slight decrease in fuel mileage. Of course there will be those who want to sue(and for good reason) but I think most owners will find the resolution acceptable.Costly for VW though.
End of 2016 and that is not in the US but Europe.
"The recall does not yet include cars in the U.S., where the scandal engulfing the world's largest carmaker erupted. Any recall there will have to be approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, which disclosed the rigging last month, and the California Air Resources Board.
Confirmation of the planned launch date of the recall of 2.8 million cars in Germany came in an interview with VW CEO Matthias Mueller published Wednesday in the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
In it, he said many of the cars being recalled won't need much fixing, merely requiring an adjustment to software. Others though may require mechanical fixes such as new injectors or catalyzers.
He said that "care goes before speed" and that if everything goes "as planned, we can start the recall in January."
"All the cars should be in order by the end of 2016," he added."
