Individual class members will now receive notification of their rights and options under the agreement. Volkswagen will begin the settlement programme immediately after the Court grants final approval to the class settlement, which is anticipated in fall 2016.
Under the proposed settlement, eligible customers will have two choices: (1) they can sell back their vehicle to Volkswagen or terminate their lease without an early termination penalty, or, (2) keep their vehicle and receive a free emissions modification, if approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Customers who select any of these options under the settlement will also receive a cash payment from Volkswagen. More information about the programme can be found at www.VWCourtSettlement.com.
