On-Board Diagnostics * USA - EPA corrects 2010 provision
Washington,DC,USA -Today's Trucking (CAN) -8 July 2009: -- The Environmental Protection Agency now says its rule related to On-Board Diagnostics systems was not meant to prevent aftermarket facilities from servicing heavy-duty trucks and engines... According to the Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association, the language of the final rule seemed to absolve heavy-duty engine manufacturers from liability for emissions warranty if an aftermarket company had worked on the engine... It's language, says Michael Conlon, APRA general counsel, "was overbroad, violated the Clean Air Act and needed to be removed from the regulation"... "Therefore, we want to clarify that this provision does not allow manufacturers to deny warranty claims or otherwise limit their obligations with respect to a heavy-duty engine because emission-related service and repair of that engine was performed by an independent service provider," EPA responded...
