Volkswagen of America said it has issued a stop-sale for more than 10,000 Audi, Porsche and VW SUVs and high-end cars with 3.0-liter diesel engines labeled by federal regulators as having "defeat devices" dating back to 2013.

The stop-sale includes more vehicles than identified by EPA on Monday, which only labeled the specific model years of three vehicles they had tested as violating emissions rules by allowing the vehicles to emit up to nine times legally allowable levels.

VW in Germany also has announced new problems with carbon dioxide emissions and miles per gallon ratings on 800,000 vehicles and said the costs of that issue could be $2.2 billion. VW stock fell 10 percent on the news Wednesday. It's not clear if any of those vehicles are in the United States, but U.S. VW officials don't believe so.
