German car manufacturer Volkswagen will initiate the largest recall in its company history in January, following the emissions scandal that knocked 25 billion dollars from its market value.
According to The Verge, Muller said that if everything went as planned, the company would start recalling affected vehicles in Europe in January next year.
Muller believes all the cars would be fixed by the end of 2016.

Roughly 488,000 out of 11 million diesel-powered vehicles affected worldwide are in the US.
