German Watchdog Recalls VW Touaregs Over Defeat Devices

HAMBURG/BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany’s KBA automotive watchdog on Tuesday announced a recall of Volkswagen’s (VOWG_p.DE) flagship European sport-utility vehicles (SUV) with 3-litre diesel engines after detecting two illicit emissions control devices in the models.

New evidence of Volkswagen’s deployment of defeat devices continues to emerge more than two years after its emissions-test cheating scandal exploded in the United States. Europe’s biggest carmaker has been working to draw a line under the affair.
