WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Volkswagen officials acknowledged Friday emissions control violations include its three-liter V-6 diesel vehicles, widening the automaker's cheating scandal to some 85,000 Volkswagens, Audis and Porsches.
The Environmental Protection Agency and California regulators said all 2009 through 2016 Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche vehicles with three-liter diesel engines contain so-called "defeat device" software that enables the vehicles to skirt emissions requirements in North America and Europe.
