VW compensation

DETROIT

Volkswagen has hired Kenneth Feinberg to create a program to compensate owners of diesel-powered cars caught up in an emissions-cheating scandal. Feinberg is known for his work in compensating victims of the General Motors ignition-switch scandal, the BP Gulf oil spill and other high-profile cases.

The German automaker said Thursday that Feinberg will design and administer an independent claims program for owners of 2-liter four-cylinder or 3-liter six-cylinder diesel cars. More than a half-million of the diesel cars in the U.S. have software that cheats on emissions tests, and several federal agencies are investigating Volkswagen’s conduct.
