Volkswagen marketed specific diesel powered vehicles as "clean" and environmentally friendly that are not emissions compliant. They bilked the US government and lied to the american public while accepting financial incentives for selling these "alleged" clean vehicles here in the states. Not only do these vehicles not pass Federal Emissions Standards, they are programmed to pollute the atmosphere at a higher rate in favor of performance when not being monitored. Volkswagen's PR Firm is "spinning" this debacle and suggesting that these vehicles can be "fixed" now? They are calling it "refitting" which will most likely be a low cost alternative to buying the vehicle back or replacing the engine with one that meets US Emissions standards.
