Volkswagen Diesel Engine

CFM Lawyers LLP is one of group of law firms across the country working together (the “Consortium”) on a proposed Canada-wide class action lawsuit against Volkswagen A.G. and a number of its Canadian and international subsidiaries relating to the manipulation of emissions data in a number of Volkswagen Group’s four and six cylinder turbo diesel engines sold under the Volkswagen and Audi brand names.

The Consortium is currently working to negotiate a national settlement through a proposed class action filed in Ontario. For a copy of a recent notice sent out in this regard click HERE.
