) on Monday rejected a German judge’s call to settle a customer class action lawsuit over its rigging of diesel emissions tests, saying there was no case to answer.
“The vehicles are driven by hundreds of thousands of customers every day, which is why we believe there is no damage and therefore no cause for complaint,” the German carmaker said. When the diesel scandal broke 2.4 million cars with defeat devices were on German roads. In the meanwhile, 99 percent have received a software update.
The German class action was made possible after the cabinet approved a draft law last year allowing consumer protection organizations to litigate on behalf of consumers, avoiding the high legal costs that might put people off legal action. Vzbv has said it aimed to show that owners of VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat cars with so-called type EA 189 diesel engines have been intentionally harmed by VW’s use of software that was used to cheat emissions tests.
