FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Volkswagen is recalling 385,000 cars in Germany for a software update to their anti-lock brake systems, news agency DPA reported, citing a spokesman for the automaker. Volkswagen's VW, Audi and Skoda brands were affected, it said. According to DPA, the braking control system may not function properly in certain driving conditions, such as when the driver over-steers, under-steers or slams on the brakes. Volkswagen had no immediate comment. (Reporting by Andreas Cremer; writing by Maria Sheahan; editing by Jason Neely)
