Volkswagen agreed to offer to buy back or repair more than 550,000 polluting diesel U.S. vehicles after it admitted in 2015 that it used secret software to cheat emissions tests. Volkswagen paid more than $9.5 billion to U.S. consumers, while VW diesel supplier Robert Bosch [ROBG.UL] paid more than $300 million to U.S. consumers.

The scandal triggered a global backlash against diesel vehicles that so far has cost VW 30 billion euros in fines, penalties, vehicle buyback costs and other settlements.

Volkswagen, Porsche Paid Out $9.5 Billion To Defrauded Dieselgate DriversThe German automakers have finished compensating U.S. owners as part of a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. Most drivers chose to replace their vehicles, not repair them, the FTC says. Do you get the impression they're charging more for their cars than they really need? Great. Now we need NPR to pay for all the listeners it has defrauded. It took a lot of work to expose this and get to the point where they had to pay reparations. Imagine everything we're not pursuing. Fund the CFPB. Fund independent oversight.
