Nissan has admitted the Qashqai models allegedly fitted with so-called emissions defeat devices were built at its Sunderland plant in the UK.
South Korea’s government said earlier it plans to fine the Japanese company 330 million won (£195,000; $279,920) for manipulating emissions tests.
It plans a recall and to sue the head of Nissan’s South Korean operations.
It is the first time Nissan has been officially accused of cheating. It denies the accusation.
