Volkswagen's emission scandal just got slightly more messy after German authorities said that the carmaker needs to make more than just software changes to nearly 5,40,000 diesel cars being recalled in the country. That's almost a quarter of the 2.4 million Volkswagen diesel vehicles being recalled in Germany.
The country's Federal Motor Transport Authority said that it "currently expects that approximately 540,000 will also need hardware changes" and added that Volkswagen will inform owners of the details.
The recall in Germany is part of a scandal that came to light on September 18, when US officials said that Volkswagen had programmed diesel engines on 4,82,000 cars to disable emission controls when the vehicles were not being tested. Some 11 million vehicles worldwide are fitted with the software.
The company is recalling 8.5 million 2009-2015 model year cars with the software across Europe, starting next year, including the 2.4 million in Germany.
