China has launched an investigation into Volkswagen, saying it’s highly concerned about the diesel emissions scandal.
ADVERTISEMENTVW says it’s recalling nearly 2,000 imported vehicles in China to ‘correct the engine software’.

China’s environment protection ministry says locally produced vehicles which account for the bulk of VW sales are not affected.
The vast majority of cars sold in the country run on petrol.
