Discovered by US officials, the diesel engines have been rigged with software, dubbed the 'defeat device', that detects when it's being tested and switch to a lower emissions mode. Now the emissions that we're talking about here is NOx.

As far as the car is concerned there is no impact to fuel economy and performance. The tally of vehicles that are affected to date sits at around 11 million vehicles worldwide, this includes Audi, Skoda, Seat and most recently included in the list is Porsche.
VW face numerous fines and law suits throughout the world, however their demand in new sales has not dwindled. The manufacturer has put in place a plan to recall the affected vehicles and resolve the issue. The question we have to ask is, what happens to those models that are now out of warranty and are now sitting in the second hand market? Will those owners even bother to bring their cars in? In my opinion, a simple recall is not a likely going to work.
There are claims that there are other manufacturers that are also manipulating the system, which consists of Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi. But they claim that the flaw is not with their vehicles but with the actual test itself. The results yielded in a test environment differ from what actual driving conditions give you. But then again, how come the rest of the motor industry is not producing higher than recommended NO2?
