Audi ordered to recall 127,000 vehicles over emissions: paper
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Germany’s KBA automotive watchdog has detected illicit emission-control software in Audi’s (NSUG.DE) latest Euro-6 diesel models and has ordered a recall of 127,000 vehicles, Bild am Sonntag reported.
Audi, a unit of Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE), said in a statement that the models had been included in a voluntary recall of 850,000 diesel vehicles with V6 and V8 TDI engines announced in July.
The engine control software for the vehicles in question will be completely revised, tested and submitted to the KBA for approval”, Audi said in its statement.
It did not confirm more details of KBA’s request.
Bild am Sonntag said road transport authority KBA had told Audi to respond by Feb. 2 on how it plans to update vehicle software controlling emissions, making sure the cars are unable to illegally manipulate emission controls.
Audi said it has been examining its diesel-fuelled cars for potential irregularities for months in close cooperation with the KBA.
“As part of this systematic and detailed assessment, the KBA has now also issued a notice regarding Audi models with V6 TDI engines,” the carmaker added.
In November, Audi announced a recall of 5,000 cars in Europe for a software fix after discovering they emitted too much nitrogen oxide, the polluting gas that parent Volkswagen concealed from U.S. regulators in its devastating 2015 “dieselgate” scandal.
Volkswagen was found in 2015 to have illegally manipulated engine software so that vehicles would meet nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions standards in laboratory testing but not in real-world conditions, where they could emit up to 40 times the permitted levels.
Several Audi models were affected and Audi has been accused in media reports of having devised the so-called defeat devices years earlier but not to have installed them in its vehicles at that time. Audi and Volkswagen have never commented on the matter.
Questions
To identify and analyse issues that have ethical implications.
1.Briefly describe the background to the ethical ‘event’, and the main actors and stakeholders -including those affected by the event.
2. Briefly describe the event itself and its consequences.

Solution
1: Audi has onvoled in an illegal software implementation on their premium cars for emission control detection. In this particular case ethical events include the lack of proper representation they made and claim for their vehicles which was released to market. Their sales team, technical and research team are equally claimable for this offense. The main stakeholders affected by this issue are majorly customers and the entire environment which results in getting polluted fumes from the incombsution engine which was not recorded properly in any database.They also have done ethical issues with government by getting illegal approvals and entire automobile market through faulty presentation.
2:The event results in tons of emission from the engines of audo vehicles which is not captures anywhere in the system .thus the autombile maker get credit of less fuel emission and they market it as a credit to their technology of automobile.The even charged their vehicles on basis of such advanced features where actually they haven\'t done anything properly to curb the emission. They have also claimed and started getting carbon credits from respective government and make use of to build their brand. They have illegaally managed their software supplier with substandard system which results in recall of vehicle from the market. They have also remained silent and didn\'t communicate anything regards to their defeat devices to the market not even with any sort of apologies.
