VOLKSWAGEN AG has agreed to pay at least US$1.26 billion to fix or buy back nearly 80,000 polluting 3.0 litre diesel-engined vehicles - and could be forced to pay up to US$4.04 billion if US regulators don't approve fixes for all vehicles, court documents filed on Tuesday showed.
In December, VW said it had agreed to buy back 20,000 vehicles and expected to fix another 60,000. The settlement documents show that if regulators do not approve the fixes, the German carmaker's costs could jump dramatically.
