Imagine An Entire Industry Built On Being A Dick; EPA Slaps Exhaust Defeat Device Retailer

[hatrack]

An Arizona motorsports business is part of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency action against an Idaho company for illegally selling emissions-control defeat devices.

Stage 3 Motorsports in Arizona is a related company of Premier Performance of Rexburg, Idaho, one of the nation’s largest sellers of aftermarket automotive parts, according to a press release. Two other companies are related to Premier Performance and part of the action, including a business in Utah and another in Iowa.

It is alleged the four companies between January 2017 and February 2019 combined to sell or manufacture at least 64,000 parts or components that bypass, defeat, or render inoperative technology to reduce vehicle emissions to meet state and federal standards. The EPA estimated the emissions impact of removing control devices on just one pickup truck is equivalent to putting about 300 new pickup trucks on the road.

EDIT

The companies as part of the action have agreed to stop manufacturing and selling all products that violate the Clean Air Act and have told the EPA that work practice standards and procedural safeguards have been implemented to prevent the sale of emission-control defeat devices.
