Volkswagen India to recall diesel cars

| | Apr 01, 2016, at 04:51 pm
Pune, Apr 1 (IBNS) Volkswagen India will recall 3877 Vento cars with 1.5-litre diesel engine and manual gearbox due to inconsistent Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions that were observed to be sometimes exceeding the threshold limits during the Conformity of Production (COP) tests done by ARAI, an official release said.

At the same time, the company is temporarily holding back sales of the manual gearbox version of the Volkswagen Vento with 1.5-litre diesel engine with immediate effect. 

The German company is analysing the issue and will propose technical measures to ARAI to solve this inconsistency at the earliest. Once approved and confirmed by the competent authorities, they will implement the measures and resume the production and sales of the relevant vehicle. 

The same technical measures will also be implemented in the impacted vehicles that are already with customers. This problem impacts only the manual gearbox version of Vento with 1.5-litre diesel engine and is not connected to the global NOx emissions topic. 

"All other diesel models and variants of Volkswagen India, including Vento 1.5TDI with Automatic Transmission (DSG) and all diesel Polo cars, conform to the norms and will continue to be produced and sold in India," the release read.
