I really cannot understand why someone in his right mind will want to save $1-2 k on a car when the potential fine is 20 times that. ANd doing that for 6 years too  |
It sounds like the software installed on the vehicles turned off already installed emissions devices. The fix would be to install updated software that doesn't do so. The vehicles could seemingly meet the test standards, but were tuned to not adhere to those settings when they detected operation that was other than the test cycle.
