I would guess there will be very little evidence around but plenty of bull seeing as its stiil an active investigation and there is legal action pending from your snips above.

It's a Bavarian company so has been in the news here, at present it seems that the directors who were arrested have now been released, the investigation is ongoing, which could takes months or years.
Knaus paused production because of overstocking at dealers, they are now working again but with 150 less staff if I recall.
Not much else to report .

I maybe should have given more context on why I'm asking. I am just about to buy one. my questions are
Which vans is this affecting?
If mine is included in this, how does this affect my ownership? Will I have a tiny payload , will it affect my resale etc

It's difficult to give answers without knowing more about which model/year you're looking to buy.

Go with it to a weighbridge before you hand over any (more) money or sign any paperwork, see what it weighs empty before you decide or reject as not as described?
