Germany orders recall of 2.4 mln Volkswagen cars

It has said it aims to start a recall of affected cars in January and complete fixes by the end of next year, but Bild said the KBA had rejected the idea that owners could voluntarily bring in their vehicles.
Volkswagen said it had not received any orders from the KBA.
