As this unravels, it's becoming really interesting. Sounds like cars have been bypassing some sort of emissions controller because VW couldn't achieve the lifespan they wanted at the manufacturing cost they were committing to.

The worst part for owners of the cars is the 'fix' they will likely have a recall for will result in shorter lifespans of said controller.

I was really starting to look at the 2016 VW Tiguan to replace my Acura, but this is really damning.

EDIT: Reports saying the Nitrogen Oxide emissions with the controller disabled are 40 times the EPA allowed amount. If true, wow.
