After recent reports found that approximately a third of Volkswagen Group diesel cars fitted with emissions-cheating devices have not been fixed, VW has hit out at customers for not addressing the issue.

The brand, which fitted so-called defeat devices onto its diesel cars to artificially lower harmful emissions, said it was the responsibility of customers to have their vehicle updated under the terms of the voluntary recall.
