VW emissions probe spreads to Asia

The government said it would test up to 5,000 Volkswagen's (VW) Jetta and Golf cars, along with Audi A3s made in 2014 and 2015.
The probe will be expanded to all German diesel cars if issues are found.
VW shares plunged nearly 20% on Monday after US regulators found that some VW cars could manipulate emissions tests.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that software in several diesel cars could deceive regulators.
Volkswagen was ordered to recall half a million cars in the US early last week.
In addition to paying for the recall, VW faces fines that could add up to billions of dollars. There may also be criminal charges for VW executives.
The South Korean government said that it will start an investigation into VW diesel cars after the automaker admitted to rigging emissions tests in the US, according to BBC.
