$700,000 in Fines Paid by Saleen Inc.

During our ongoing investigation into the sale and use of uncertified vehicles in California, staff for the Mobile Source Enforcement Section discovered Ford vehicle models modified by Saleen without Air Resources Board vehicle certification. The Mobile Source Enforcement Section and Office of Legal Affairs staff reached a settlement with the manufacturer, Saleen Inc. in Irvine, California, which includes a settlement amount of $700,000 to the Air Pollution Control Fund and a recall of the N20 vehicles. This settlement was reached in December 2006.
