A second phase of the fix will start about a year from now when VW will install more software updates and new hardware, including a diesel particulate filter, diesel oxidation catalyst and NOx catalyst.
.
Any comments on exactly why a new DPF? and the other new hardware?
Will this be major surgery?
.
Also I'd ask everyone to dissect APPENDIX B VEHICLE RECALL AND EMISSIONS MODIFICATION PROGRAM. it spells out the specifics of the warranty. If the DPF fails it has to be related to the fix at hand. Not so much if it becomes "full" from normal use.
.
3.9.1 The Emissions Control System warranty must cover all components which are replaced as part of the Approved Emissions Modification and any component which can reasonably be impacted by effects of the Approved Emissions Modification, such as increased thermal load or cycling, increased soot load, increased use of EGR, increased DPF regeneration, and increased fuel injection pressure.
.
Here is the appendix.
