California air regulators have rejected Volkswagen AG's proposed remedy for its 3.0L clean-diesel engines that violate emissions laws as "substantially deficient," according to a letter to the automaker.
The California Air Resource Board said Volkswagen's submissions to address the violation are incomplete and "fall far short of meeting the legal requirements" to bring the vehicles into compliance.
The board listed 10 elements of the plan that need improvement, including a sufficient description of the remedial procedure, parts availability, and description of how the fix affects fuel economy, drivability, performance, safety, and emissions levels.
The letter was sent to David Detweiler, Volkswagen's exeutive vice president and general counsel, from regulators representing the Air Resource Board and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, including the board's Todd Sax, enforcement chief, and Byron Bunker, the EPA's compliance director.
