Is your Volkswagen, Audi or Porsche affected by the Diesel Emissions Settlement Program offering to modify or buyback certain of the eponymous automaker's diesel automobiles in the United States? Momentum Volkswagen is here to help.
If you own a Volkswagen Beetle, Beetle Convertible, Golf, Golf Sportswagen, Jetta, Jetta Sportwagen, Passat or Audi A3 with a 2.0L TDI (turbo-charged direct-injection) engine, or a Volkswagen Touareg, Audi A6, A7, A8, A8L, Q5, Q7 or Porsche Cayenne Diesel with a 3.0L TDI engine, Volkswagen's settlement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Attorney General, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the Federal Trade Commission may affect you.
By terms of settlement, Volkswagen has agreed to take a few different courses of action to accommodate you. For its 2.0L TDI diesel mentions, the automaker will buy back or terminate leases or provide approved emissions modifications, as well as provide cash payments for either case, if you're an owner or lessee. And the company's commitment to emissions standards endures, as it's continuing to work on emissions modifications for model year 2014 and earlier vehicles.
As regards the automaker's 3.0L TDI vehicle mentions, you may be eligible for a buyback or lease termination, or an emissions modification, if approved by regulators. If approved, the mod is free, and you'll receive additional compensation for participating.
