Mercedes-Benz recalls 60K vehicles in Germany over emissions violations

The company is setting aside hundreds of millions of euros as the Transportation Ministry expands its investigation into more models.

Daimler is apparently facing more trouble with emissions regulators as Germany's Transportation Ministry demands a recall for 60,000 vehicles.

The agency claims the 2012-2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK 220's diesel engine is pared with software that is designed to distort emissions tests, according to Reuters.

The ministry is said to be preparing to expand its inquiry into a broader range of models.

The German automaker has set aside hundreds of millions of euros to help pay for expected penalties and recall costs. The company expects the charge to have a negative impact on profits.
