Audi AG said 2.1 million of its diesel-powered cars, including best-sellers like the A4 sedan and Q5 sport utility vehicle, are equipped with software implicated in an emissions-testing scandal that has engulfed parent company Volkswagen AG.
“We’re working at full speed to find a technical solution,” said Juergen de Graeve, a spokesman for Ingolstadt, Germany-based Audi. “Once we have that solution, we’ll write to customers and we’ll upgrade the cars so that they’re within emissions regulations.”
