Volkswagen AG has ordered an external investigation into its cheating on U.S. air pollution tests for years, saying that regaining customer trust is key.

Investigating the deception, which affects almost a half-million diesel VW and Audi cars sold between 2009 and this year, is a priority, and the company will cooperate fully with U.S. regulators, Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn said in a statement on Sunday.
