Non-Genuine and Rebuilt
Component Quality Alert
In recent years, electronic engine
controls have been instrumental
in aiding engine manufacturers in
meeting the stringent emission
requirements of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S. EPA) and the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) and
also in meeting the ever-increasing
performance demands of the customer.
Maintenance procedures are to
be followed in order to continue
satisfactory performance and
durability and to ensure coverage of
the engine under the manufacturer's
warranty. Many of these maintenance
procedures also ensure that the engine
continues to comply with applicable
emissions standards. The U.S. EPA
specifically defines an engine's
“useful emission life” — currently
established as 290,000 miles (464,000
kilometers) for on-highway engines.
Proper maintenance procedures, using
specific components engineered to
comply with emissions regulations,
may be performed by an authorized
Detroit Diesel distributor or dealer,
an independent outlet or the operator
or owner. The owner is responsible
for determining the suitability of
components to maintain emissions
compliance during the engine's useful
emission life.
