California Air Resources Board

Diablosport, Incorporated Case Settles for $189,000

In June 2015, Diablosport, Inc. (DIABLO) settled its case with the Air Resources Board (ARB). A routine investigation by ARB revealed that DIABLO manufactured, sold, offered for sale, and/or advertised, aftermarket performance parts that were not exempted from California’s anti-tampering laws. Aftermarket performance parts such as tuners allow the user to modify the manufacturer specified engine operating conditions and thus must be evaluated by ARB to demonstrate continued emissions compliance. DIABLO has agreed to pay a penalty of $141,750 to the Air Pollution Control Fund and $47,250 to the School Bus and Diesel Emission Reduction Supplemental Environmental Project. DIABLO has agreed not to manufacture for supply, distribution, offer, or sale in California or supply, distribute, offer for sale, sell or advertise in California any aftermarket part in violation of the California Code of Regulations, title 13, section 2222 Vehicle Code section 27156.
