A representative for GAT Katalysatoren GmbH, which is under
probe for allegedly supplying around 28,000 faulty particle
filters for diesel engines, told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
that the company may file for insolvency if the German ministry
of transport requires it to replace the systems at an estimated
cost of EUR1,000 each, the Financial Times reports.

According to KBA, the German federal motor vehicle office, GAT
