http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...-cheating.html General Motors has been accused of using a Volkswagen-style defeat device in its heavy-duty diesel trucks in order to beat emissions tests and bypass pollution regulations.


According to Bloomberg, 705,000 owners of Silverado and Sierra HD trucks sold between 2011 and 2016 fitted with the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engine filed a class-action lawsuit against the Detroit automaker claiming the company used multiple defeat devices to skirt emissions laws.

The suit alleges GM’s defeat device allowed its trucks to pass regulatory inspections despite spitting out emissions two to five times the legal limit under regular driving conditions, a far cry from the VW diesels, which were emitting up to 40 times the nitrogen oxide pollutants allowed in the U.S.
