Fallout 4 Creators Knew About Volkswagen Altered Emissions Already?

The news has come out from the Fallout fans that the creator of the famous Fallout 4 game, Bethesda knows about the Volkswagen altered emissions already. The Volkswagen van is seen to be used to promote Fallout 4’s upcoming debut in November 2015. As a quick overview, Fallout 4 is an action role-playing game and will be the fifth major instalment in the Fallout series.

However, many Volkswagen owners may not get their emissions controls fixed. According to Volkswagen’s chief executive, Martin Winterkorn, Volkswagen’s first priority is to fix coding lurks inside the computers in some 11 million diesel cars. Thus, they don’t cheat on emissions-testing systems anymore.

Overall, the rate of submission with auto recalls is not more than 70% and decreases steadily as cars age, as well as the perceived danger of the flaw in the recall. A 2011 survey done by the Government Accountability Office found that the compliance rate ranges from 25% to 90%.

Among safety recalls, wheel-related recalls have the highest compliance rates, while cruise controls are the lowest, 43%. Air bags are 60%, a pattern that is holding with the recall affecting 30 million cars with potentially faulty Takata air bag inflators. The rate is around 65%, although part of that is due to delays in supplies. Whatever it is, it depends on the driver whether to fix it or not.
