(1 Oct 2015) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus039391

California Air Resources Board along with the EPA accused Volskwagen of installing secret software that hid pollution control issues.
The Board speaks about the process.
The scandal broke on September 18, when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board accused VW of installing secret software on 2-liter four-cylinder diesel engines that turned on pollution controls for lab tests and shut them off during real-world driving.
As a result, 482,000 Jettas, Beetles, Golfs and Passats from the 2009 to 2015 model years belched out 10 to 40 times as much ozone-causing nitrogen oxide as U.S. law allows.
A few days later, VW admitted the same "defeat device" that switched the pollution controls on and off was on 11 million cars worldwide.
Germany says 2.8 million cars there are affected.
