Volkswagen isn't the only automaker with an emissions scandal on its hands.
After being raided by anti-fraud authorities last week, French automaker Renault is set to recall upwards of 15,000 vehicles to make them comply with emissions regulations.
Segolene Royal, France's minister of ecology, told RTL radio Tuesday morning that the brand's cars must be recalled before they go on sale. That recall will enable the company to test its affected cars' engines and filtration systems to ensure that they're in compliance with emissions regulations, as reported by The Verge.
"We can say that the tests were insufficient," Royal told RTL, as reported by The Verge.
He added: "After the Volkswagen fraud scandal, we decided to conduct incontestable tests. But what we want is to save the automotive industry while guaranteeing consumer rights."
Shortly following last week's raid, Renault claimed that its vehicles didn't have any defeat device software loaded up in their cars, as Volkswagen did with its 11 million manipulated emissions vehicles worldwide.
"To be fair to Renault ... there are other brands that exceed the norms," Royal said, comparing Renault to other automakers around the world and their respective emissions rates.
He added that Renault will be meeting with a specialized French government committee to speak about its emissions issue.
