The Federal Clean Air Act, Section 203 (a) (3), states the following concerning the removal
of air pollution control devices or modification of a certified engine to a non-certified
configuration:
CAA, Section (a) (3) (A) prohibits any person from removing or rendering inoperative any
emission control device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor
vehicle engine in compliance with federal regulations under the Clean Air Act prior to the
sale and delivery of the vehicle to the ultimate purchaser. The statute also prohibits any
person from knowingly removing or rendering inoperative any emission control device or
element of design after sale and delivery of a vehicle or engine to the ultimate purchaser.
Any person who violates these provisions either by removing or rendering inoperative
emissions control devices prior to the sale or delivery of an engine or vehicle to an ultimate
purchaser, or by knowingly removing or rending inoperative such devices after the sale and
delivery of an engine or vehicle to an ultimate purchaser, can be subject to penalties of up
to $3,750 per incident. Any dealer or manufacturer who violates these provisions can be
subject to penalties of up to $37, 500 per incident.
Canada
The same conditions that apply in the USA apply to Canada, with one exception. After the
vehicle is sold to a retail customer, that is, the end user, the jurisdiction controlling the
emission control devices becomes the province in which the vehicle is licensed. No changes
should be made that render any or all of the devices inoperative.
Should the owner/operator wish to make any changes to the emission control devices, check
with the provincial authority before making any such changes.
Mexico
The same conditions that apply in the USA apply to Mexico. Refer to the Mexican Federal
Law for Emission Control which adheres to EPA regulations. No changes should be made
that render any or all of the emissions control devices inoperative.
Should the owner/operator wish to make any changes to the emission control devices, check
with the state authority before making any such changes.
