The Environmental Protection Agency is ordering Volkswagen to recall nearly a half-million cars after the company allegedly used a computer software trick to make the cars seem more environmentally friendly during state emissions tests.
The VW models involved include the diesel versions of the following models: The 2009-15 Volkswagen Jetta, the 2009–15 Beetle, the 2009–15 Golf, the 2014-15 Passat and the 2009-15 Audi A3. The recall affects 482,000 vehicles in total.
