How a recall is gonna help I've no idea, the cars clearly couldn't do what was needed of them so the company cheated. The software options are (A) remove the cheat leaving emissions high or (B) turn the cheat on all the time reducing fuel efficiency... Neither are what the customer wanted.
Options seem to be:
A. If it's an affected car and you don't want it demand your money back. You were sold something and Volkswagen criminally lied about what it was.
B. If it's an affected car and you do want it and your emissions are higher than you thought then Volkswagen need to pay all of your additional road tax, congestion charge, etc, etc for the rest of your ownership.
C. Sue the bastards as well while your at it.
