Germany Orders Volkswagen to Recall 2.4 Million Diesel Cars 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
Germany has ordered Volkswagen to recall 2.4 million of its diesel cars
equipped with software intended to manipulate emissions test results.
This is the first government-ordered recall since Volkswagen admitted
last month that it had installed the emissions cheating software in 11
million diesel cars worldwide. Meanwhile, U.S. regulators say they have
more questions for Volkswagen about the engineering of the 2016 diesel
models, which contain software that might make their exhaust systems run
cleaner during government tests than in regular driving mode.
