Federal Trade Comission requires VW to repair, buyback and compensate the owners of 3.0 TDI engines. Here is the link describing the decision, P
Proposed Settlement:
Generation 1 TDI 3.0 – fix the emissions and offer cash payout, buybacks or early lease termination
Generation 2 TDI 3.0 – fix the emissions, not buybacks offered right now. Their rationale that they can actually fix generation 2 engines to be compliant with the original EPA and CARB certifications. In any case if they can’t find a way to fix it, then buybacks and cash payouts will be offered to Generation 2 owners as well.

Key Date:
December 20, 2017 – this is by which date the fix needs to be approved by EPA/CARB or Buyback option starts be open for Generation 2 owners.
