AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – The Dutch road authority has recalled Jeep Cherokees throughout Europe for a software update, it said on Thursday, after completing an investigation into fraudulent emissions strategies by Suzuki and Jeep diesel models.

Suzuki has yet to find a credible solution for its Vitara model, the authority said.

In a statement, the RDW said cars had used “prohibited emissions strategies” that led them to emit higher levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) on the road than under testing conditions.
