Diesel exhaust treatment software that shuts down below certain temperatures is illegal and such car owners are entitled to seek compensation, the EU's top court said Tuesday (21 March), opening the door to a fresh wave of "dieselgate" suits.
Diesel exhaust treatment software that shuts down below certain temperatures is illegal and such car owners are entitled to seek compensation, the EU’s top court said Tuesday (21 March), opening the door to a fresh wave of “dieselgate” suits.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) said “the purchaser of a vehicle equipped with an unlawful defeat device has a right to compensation from the car manufacturer where that device has caused damage to that purchaser”.
The judgement paves the way for a wave of fresh compensation claims against carmakers that equipped diesel cars with so-called “thermal window” software.
