German carmaker the German Transport Ministry has been asked to recall 24,000 A7 and A8 models built between 2009 and 2013, amid fresh claims of emissions rigging, according to Audi. The recall, the first to hit the German Transport Ministry, comes after the ministry claimed emissions from the affected models doubled after the steering wheel was turned more than 15 degrees. Ingolstadt-based the German Transport Ministry said it will continue to cooperate with Germany's KBA motor vehicle authority, and software updates to the emissions-control software in the vehicles will start in July.
