Volkswagen resumes deliveries of Golf 8 after fixing a glitch

Volkswagen is restarting deliveries of its Golf 8 model after repairing a software glitch, a spokesman stated on Thursday.

The German automaker stopped deliveries of the popular model last month after finding the problem in the software, which allowed emergency calls, a function required by E.U. regulations since 2018.

Union officials had criticized the defect as one of a string of management lapses that had damaged the automaker’s reputation and put jobs at risk.
