Nigeria Gives Volkswagen 7 Days Ultimatum On Vehicles With Emission Scandal ~ BimzTheory

These are really not the best of times for automobile giant, Volkswagen following the emissions scandal on some of their diesel powered vehicles.

Unfortunately, they have come up again to say about 800,000 petrol powered vehicles may also have the same problems! This latest discovery might set the world’s biggest auto maker behind by $2.2 Billion.

In reaction to this, the Consumer Protection Council, CPC, has issued a 7 day ultimatum to Volkswagen Nigeria to provide information on the status of its vehicles in relation to this emissions cheating software.

CPC noted that Volkswagen has a huge market in Nigeria, with many customers who may currently be in possession of the affected models and they have been directed to inform and sensitize consumers on efforts being made to facilitate quick recall of such vehicles in the country.

Meanwhile, around 11 million vehicles worldwide manufactured between 2009 and 2015, including 5 million VW cars, 2.1 million Audi, 1.2 million Skoda, 700,000 Seat and 1.8. million vans, are confirmed to have been built with these so-called “defeat devices.”
