Thank you @helenhayes.bsky.social for asking this question about the recall of #Diesel vehicles fitted with defeat devices. We're glad to have it confirmed by @simonlightwood.org.uk that the Market Surveillance Unit will recall vehicles where necessary. www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=20...

A screenshot of a Parliamentary written question to the Department for Transport, answered on 1st December. Helen Hayes MP asked the Secretary of State for Transport if she will take steps to ensure the recall of diesel vehicles found to use defeat devices.

Simon Lightwood MP answered:

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency’s Market Surveillance Unit (MSU) is investigating cases of possible non-compliant diesel emissions in cars and vans. The investigations aim to ensure any non-compliance found is fixed as soon as reasonably possible, working together with manufacturers to achieve real-world impacts on air quality.

Where an investigation into the emissions has identified emissions that do not meet the required standard, the MSU will work with the manufacturer to implement improvement plans and, where necessary, recall affected vehicles.
