When a customer comes in for service are they informed their cars doesn't comply with emission laws and they risk heavy fines for driving it?
Do you feel bad about killing the whales?

Ok I'll break it down.

1. We don't know when they will have a fix. What they have confirmed is that all affected diesel engines are still within the legal guidelines in Australia. Therefore at this stage it is more of a false advertising issue rather than illegally high emissions. Given this is the case, any recall will be voluntary. If you would prefer lower emissions then get it done, if you don't care then just ignore it.

2. I read about the law suit, I wasn't at work today. No idea if they will achieve anything given the above information.

3. See answer 1, not breaking any emission laws if the word we have been given.

4. I don't know any whales so lack the connection.
