Regulators Open Second Investigation Into VW Emissions Software

Regulators Open 2nd Investigation Into VW Emissions Software

WASHINGTON — Federal and California regulators have begun an investigation into a second computer program in Volkswagen’s diesel cars that also affects the operation of the cars’ emission controls.

Volkswagen said that it had withdrawn 2016 models of its diesel cars from environmental certification in the United States because the company should have disclosed the software and sought regulators’ approval, but had not done so.
