Last month, Jaguar Land Rover filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), claiming that VW Group SUVs and crossovers are utilizing JLR’s Terrain Response system without permission.
The filing demanded a ban in the U.S. for the likes of the Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus, Audi‘s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad and e-tron models, as well as the VW Tiguan. The ITC recently reviewed that claim and will now be opening an investigation.
The trade agency has yet to make any determinations regarding the merits of the complaint, with VW stating that it was examining the action and determining its next steps, reports Reuters.
