Nov 4 (Reuters) - Volkswagen (DE:VOWG) AG VOWG_p.DE said on
Wednesday it told U.S. and Canadian dealers early Wednesday to
stop selling recent models equipped with 3.0 V6 TDI diesel
engines.
The stop-sale order follows a notice by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency that VW group brands had
installed illegal devices on some 3.0 V6 diesel models.
VW and Audi dealers were ordered to stop selling new
2015-2016 models with the 3.0 V6 TDI, including the VW Touareg
and the Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5 and Q7.
VW said pre-owned models from 2013-2014 are included in
stop-sale order to dealer.
