Notice of Lodging of Proposed Second
Partial Consent Decree Under the
Clean Air Act
On December 20, 2016, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Second Partial Consent Decree with the
United States District Court for the
Northern District of California in the
lawsuit entitled In re: Volkswagen
‘‘Clean Diesel’’ Marketing, Sales
Practices, and Products Liability
Litigation, Case No: MDL No. 2672 CRB
(JSC), partially resolving Clean Air Act
and various California claims (including
under the California Health and Safety
Code) against Volkswagen AG and
others, concerning certain noncompliant
3.0 liter diesel vehicles.
On January 4, 2016, the United States,
on behalf of the Environmental
Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’) filed a
complaint against Volkswagen AG,
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.,
Volkswagen Group of America
Chattanooga Operations, LLC, Audi AG,
Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, and Porsche
Cars North America, Inc. alleging that
the defendants violated Sections
203(a)(1), (2), (3)(A), and (3)(B) of the
Clean Air Act (‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C.
7522(a)(1), (2), (3)(A), and (3)(B), with
regard to approximately 500,000 model
year 2009 to 2015 motor vehicles
containing 2.0 liter diesel engines (2.0
Liter Subject Vehicles) and
approximately 80,000 model year 2009
to 2016 motor vehicles containing 3.0
liter diesel engines (3.0 Liter Subject
Vehicles). An amended complaint was
filed on October 7, 2016. The United
States’ complaint (initial and as
amended) alleges that each 2.0 and 3.0
Liter Subject Vehicle contains computer
algorithms that are prohibited defeat
devices that cause the emissions control
system of those vehicles to perform
differently during normal vehicle
operation and use than during
emissions testing. The complaint alleges
that the defeat devices cause the
vehicles, during normal vehicle
operation and use, to emit levels of
oxides of nitrogen (‘‘NOX’’) significantly
in excess of EPA-compliant levels. The
complaint seeks, among other things,
injunctive relief to remedy the
violations, including mitigation of
excess NOX emissions, and civil
penalties.

On June 27, 2016, People of the State
of California (‘‘California’’), by and
through the California Air Resources
Board (‘‘CARB’’) and the California
Attorney General filed a complaint
against defendants alleging that
defendants violated Cal. Health & Safety
Code §§ 43016, 43017, 43151, 43152,
43153, 43205, 43211, and 43212; Cal.
Code Regs. tit. 13, §§ 1903, 1961, 1961.2,
1965, 1968.2, and 2037, and 40 CFR
Sections incorporated by reference in
those California regulations; Cal. Bus. &
Prof. Code §§ 17200 et seq., 17500 et
seq., and 17580.5; Cal. Civ. Code § 3494;
and 12 U.S.C. 5531 et seq., with regard
to approximately 71,000 model year
2009 to 2015 motor vehicles containing
2.0 liter diesel engines and
approximately 16,000 model year 2009
to 2016 motor vehicles containing 3.0
liter diesel engines, for a total of
approximately 87,000 motor vehicles.
The California complaint alleges, in
relevant part, that the motor vehicles
contain prohibited defeat devices and
have resulted in, and continue to result
in, increased NOx emissions from each
such vehicle significantly in excess of
CARB requirements, that these vehicles
have resulted in the creation of a public
nuisance, and that defendants engaged
in related conduct that violated unfair
competition, false advertising, and
consumer protection laws.
On June 28, 2016, the United States
lodged a Partial Consent Decree, Dkt.
No. 1605–1 (‘‘First Partial Consent
Decree’’), concerning the 2.0 Liter
Subject Vehicles, which was entered
into by the United States, California,
and certain defendants (Volkswagen
AG, Audi AG, Volkswagen Group of
America, Inc., and Volkswagen Group of
America Chattanooga Operations, LLC).
The First Partial Consent Decree was
entered by this Court on October 25,
2016, Dkt. No. 2103, and may be viewed
here: https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/crb/
vwmdl.
This Second Partial Consent Decree
(‘‘Decree’’) is entered into between the
United States, California, and all
defendants (collectively,
‘‘Volkswagen’’). The Decree partially
resolves the governments’ claims for
injunctive relief with respect to the 3.0
Liter Subject Vehicles, by providing
remedies for the cars on the road and
the environmental harm from the
violations. It does not address plaintiffs’
claims, inter alia, for prospective
injunctive relief to prevent future
violations of the same type that are
alleged in the complaints or claims for
civil penalties.
Under the Decree, Volkswagen must
perform two vehicle recalls as follows
(with all capitalized terms as defined in
PO 00000

Recall Program):
First, for Generation 1.x 3.0 Liter
Subject Vehicles, Volkswagen must offer
all Eligible Owners and Lessees of these
vehicles the Buyback or the Lease
Termination under terms described in
Appendix A. In addition, if approved by
EPA/CARB, Volkswagen may, in
accordance with the requirements
specified in Appendix B of the Decree
(Vehicle Recall and Emissions
Modification Program for 3.0 Liter
Subject Vehicles), offer for Eligible
Vehicles the option of a modification to
substantially reduce NOX emissions in
accordance with standards established
by EPA/CARB in the Decree.
Second, for Generation 2.x 3.0 Liter
Subject Vehicles, if proposed by
Volkswagen and approved by EPA/
CARB, Volkswagen must offer an
Emissions Compliant Recall as set forth
in Appendix A to bring these vehicles
into compliance with their Certified
Exhaust Emission Standards in
accordance with the requirements
specified in Appendix B. If Volkswagen
is unable to effect a recall that meets
Certified Exhaust Emission Standards
for a particular Test Group or Groups of
Generation 2.x 3.0 Liter Subject
Vehicles in accordance with the
requirements specified in Appendix B,
Volkswagen must offer all Eligible
Owners and Lessees of such vehicles the
Buyback or Lease Termination, under
terms described in Appendix A, and
may, if proposed by Volkswagen and
approved by EPA/CARB, consistent
with the provisions in Appendix B, offer
to modify such vehicles to substantially
reduce their NOX emissions in
accordance with standards established
by EPA/CARB in this Consent Decree.
See Decree ¶¶ 9–15; Appendices A and
B.
Volkswagen must achieve a recall rate
(through the buyback, lease termination,
scrapped vehicles, the Emissions
Compliant Recall, and any other
approved vehicle modification options)
of 85% by November 30, 2019 for the
Generation 1.x 3.0 Liter Subject
Vehicles, and by May 31, 2020 for the
Generation 2.x 3.0 Liter Subject
Vehicles. If it fails to do so, Volkswagen
must augment the mitigation trust fund

11,13; Appendix A ¶¶ 10.1–10.3.
In connection with the buyback, in
accordance with Appendix A,
Volkswagen must pay Eligible Owners
no less than the cost of the retail
purchase of a comparable replacement
vehicle of similar value, condition and
mileage as of November 2, 2015 (‘‘Retail
Replacement Value’’). See Decree ¶ 12;
Appendix A ¶¶ 2.4, 2.23, 4.1, 7.1 and
Appendix A–1. The buyback/lease
termination program under the Decree
remains open for two years after the
Decree’s Effective Date in the case of
Generation 1.x vehicles and two years
from the date offers first become
available for the applicable vehicles in
the case of Generation 2.x vehicles. See
Decree Section IV.A and Appendix A ¶¶
4.3, 7.3. If EPA and CARB approve an
emissions modification or Emissions
Compliant Recall, Volkswagen must
offer it to consumers indefinitely. See
Decree ¶ 94; Appendix A ¶¶ 5.2, 6.2,
8.2.
In addition, under the Decree,
Volkswagen must make a payment of
$225 million into the Mitigation Trust
Fund that will be established under the
First Partial Consent Decree. See Decree
¶ 17. Consistent with the use of the
funds established by the First Partial
Consent Decree, these funds will also be
allocated to states, Puerto Rico, the
District of Columbia, and Indian tribes
who become Beneficiaries to perform
specified NOX mitigation projects. This
amount is expected to fund projects to
fully mitigate the total, lifetime excess
emissions from the 3.0 Liter Subject
Vehicles. See Decree, p. 5, ¶ 6. The trust
will be administered by a trustee to be
selected in accordance with the First
Partial Consent Decree.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Second Partial Consent Decree Under
the Clean Air Act
On December 20, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Second Partial Consent Decree with the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California in the lawsuit entitled In re:
Volkswagen ``Clean Diesel'' Marketing, Sales Practices, and Products
Liability Litigation, Case No: MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC), partially
resolving Clean Air Act and various California claims (including under
the California Health and Safety Code) against Volkswagen AG and
others, concerning certain noncompliant 3.0 liter diesel vehicles.
On January 4, 2016, the United States, on behalf of the
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') filed a complaint against
Volkswagen AG, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., Volkswagen Group of
America Chattanooga Operations, LLC, Audi AG, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche
AG, and Porsche Cars North America, Inc. alleging that the defendants
violated Sections 203(a)(1), (2), (3)(A), and (3)(B) of the Clean Air
Act (``Act''), 42 U.S.C. 7522(a)(1), (2), (3)(A), and (3)(B), with
regard to approximately 500,000 model year 2009 to 2015 motor vehicles
containing 2.0 liter diesel engines (2.0 Liter Subject Vehicles) and
approximately 80,000 model year 2009 to 2016 motor vehicles containing
3.0 liter diesel engines (3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles). An amended
complaint was filed on October 7, 2016. The United States' complaint
(initial and as amended) alleges that each 2.0 and 3.0 Liter Subject
Vehicle contains computer algorithms that are prohibited defeat devices
that cause the emissions control system of those vehicles to perform
differently during normal vehicle operation and use than during
emissions testing. The complaint alleges that the defeat devices cause
the vehicles, during normal vehicle operation and use, to emit levels
of oxides of nitrogen (``NOX'') significantly in excess of
EPA-compliant levels. The complaint seeks, among other things,
injunctive relief to remedy the violations, including mitigation of
excess NOX emissions, and civil penalties.
On June 27, 2016, People of the State of California
(``California''), by and through the California Air Resources Board
(``CARB'') and the California Attorney General filed a complaint
against defendants alleging that defendants violated Cal. Health &
Safety Code Sec. Sec. 43016, 43017, 43151, 43152, 43153, 43205, 43211,
and 43212; Cal. Code Regs. tit. 13, Sec. Sec. 1903, 1961, 1961.2,
1965, 1968.2, and 2037, and 40 CFR Sections incorporated by reference
in those California regulations; Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code Sec. Sec.
17200 et seq., 17500 et seq., and 17580.5; Cal. Civ. Code Sec. 3494;
and 12 U.S.C. 5531 et seq., with regard to approximately 71,000 model
year 2009 to 2015 motor vehicles containing 2.0 liter diesel engines
and approximately 16,000 model year 2009 to 2016 motor vehicles
containing 3.0 liter diesel engines, for a total of approximately
87,000 motor vehicles. The California complaint alleges, in relevant
part, that the motor vehicles contain prohibited defeat devices and
have resulted in, and continue to result in, increased NOx emissions
from each such vehicle significantly in excess of CARB requirements,
that these vehicles have resulted in the creation of a public nuisance,
and that defendants engaged in related conduct that violated unfair
competition, false advertising, and consumer protection laws.
On June 28, 2016, the United States lodged a Partial Consent
Decree, Dkt. No. 1605-1 (``First Partial Consent Decree''), concerning
the 2.0 Liter Subject Vehicles, which was entered into by the United
States, California, and certain defendants (Volkswagen AG, Audi AG,
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., and Volkswagen Group of America
Chattanooga Operations, LLC). The First Partial Consent Decree was
entered by this Court on October 25, 2016, Dkt. No. 2103, and may be
viewed here: https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/crb/vwmdl.
This Second Partial Consent Decree (``Decree'') is entered into

11,13; Appendix A ]] 10.1-10.3.
In connection with the buyback, in accordance with Appendix A,
Volkswagen must pay Eligible Owners no less than the cost of the retail
purchase of a comparable replacement vehicle of similar value,
condition and mileage as of November 2, 2015 (``Retail Replacement
Value''). See Decree ] 12; Appendix A ]] 2.4, 2.23, 4.1, 7.1 and
Appendix A-1. The buyback/lease termination program under the Decree
