Shutdown device for exhaust gas purification discovered in BMW cars. Around 33,000 BMW vehicles in Germany do not clean exhaust gases as they should.
Across Europe, up to 150,000 vehicles probably have an illegal defeat device. The estimated 100,000 to 150,.000 vehicles built between 2010 and 2014 across Europe will probably be updated from June 2024. BMW did not provide any information about the costs. It has not yet been decided how extensive possible updates will be. The company also reserved the right to examine an objection against the decision of the Federal Motor Transport Authority.
