Volkswagen has agreed to pay $1.2 billion to buyers of vehicles powered by its 3.0L V-6 diesel engine that violated emissions regulations in a settlement that must receive a blessing from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and a federal judge.
Volkswagen could end up paying as much as $4 billion depending on whether Volkswagen will need to buy back approximately 78,000 vehicles powered by the engines, according to the commission. The company has been given the option to repair them. Owners of the affected vehicles are set to receive $26,000 to $58,000 per vehicle depending on the model, mileage, and trim.
