BERLIN (AP) — Volkswagen says investigations have found discrepancies in carbon dioxide emissions in far fewer than the 800,000 vehicles it initially suspected.
Volkswagen, which was already reeling from the fallout of cheating on U.S. emissions tests for nitrogen oxide, said in early November that an internal investigation had revealed "unexplained inconsistencies" in the carbon dioxide emissions from 800,000 vehicles.
On Wednesday, however, it said that further internal investigations found that in most cases the vehicles actually conformed to the stated emissions levels. It said that slight discrepancies were found in nine models with an annual production of some 36,000 cars.
