On September 18th, 2015, the Obama Administration forced the German car manufacturer to recall 500,000 diesel engine cars made from 2009-2015. This was because the emissions control computer had been altered so while the car was undergoing a smog test it would output incorrect reading so it would pass the test. This is a problem because the car outputs more emissions than it ever actually shows which means these cars are not eligible to be driving.
This is not "O.K", this company broke the rules placed by the EPA. Even though all cars pollute our air they still must meet a requirement set which is the law. These rules are there so we do not destroy our air too quickly and there are those who do not seem to care and hate this law. It is there for our own protection and has purpose, so VW broke the law and will have to answer for their actions.
