CALIFORNIA regulators have rejected Volkswagen AG's plan for recalling thousands of diesel-cheating vehicles, posing a potentially costly obstacle in the 10-month scandal as criminal probes and lawsuits on three continents roll ahead.

The agency, along with the Environmental Protection Agency, will continue its talks with Volkswagen in hopes of finding a fix, CARB said in letters dated Wednesday to Volkswagen executives and lawyers.
