Germany's road vehicle authority KBA has discovered five "illegal switch-off devices" in Daimler car engines, newspaper Bild am Sonntag (BamS) reported on Sunday.

A Daimler spokesman said: "We are cooperating to a full extent and transparently with the KBA and the federal transport ministry."

Daimler uses urea nitrate liquids to naturalize nitrogen oxide emissions in exhaust fumes, but the KBA has taken issue with the emission control features amid suspicion they allow vehicles to emit excess pollution without detection.
