So, VW got caught doing an end-run around US EPA Clean Air regulations, by installing a software cheat in their turbo diesel vehicles, which would enable emissions controls during emissions testing, but disable them during normal driving. Their stock is getting hammered in the European markets, dropping 23% on the Frankfurt exchange. They're also being forced to issue a recall to fix the problem, and sales of TDI-equipped vehicles has been halted in the US, until the fix is implemented.
