​On March 18th, 2024 Outlaw Diesel Performance (ODP) entered into a settlement with the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to resolve alleged violations of
Section 203(a)(3)(B) of the Clean Air Act, related to the removal and/or rendering
inoperative of emission control devices and elements of design and the manufacturing
selling, offering to sell, and/or installing defeat devices for use on heavy-duty diesel
engines.
By signing a consent agreement with EPA, ODP has certified that it will comply with Section
203(a)(3) of the CAA, which makes it unlawful for: “(A) any person to remove or render
inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor
vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under [Title II of the CAA] prior to its sale and
delivery to the ultimate purchasers, or for any person knowingly to remove or render
inoperative any such device or element of design after such sale and delivery to the
ultimate purchaser; or (B) for any person to manufacture or sell, or offer to sell, or install,
any part or component intended for use with, or as part of, any motor vehicle or motor
vehicle engine, where a principal effect of the part or component is to bypass, defeat, or
render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle
engine in compliance with regulations under [Title II of the CAA], and where the person
knows or should know that such part or component is being offered for sale or installed for
such use or put to such use.”
ODP will pay a penalty of $53,409 plus interest accrued and comply with the consent
agreement to ensure ongoing compliance with the Clean Air Act.
