Volkswagen may face "enormous" diesel liability, US appeals court rules

A US appeals court ruled Monday Volkswagen AG may face "enormous" additional liability in the "Dieselgate" scandal finding that two counties can enforce regulations against the German automaker for tampering with post-sale vehicles.

The court said it recognized the ruling "may result in the imposition of unexpected (and enormous) liability on Volkswagen."
