Rudy's Performance Parts, Inc. Case Settles for $39,750
In December 2014 Rudy’s Performance Parts Inc. (Rudy’s), of Durham, North Carolina agreed to pay $39,750.00 in penalties for violating the California Vehicle Code. Online inspections and subsequent investigation by Enforcement Division staff discovered that Rudy’s was marketing and selling non-ARB exempted aftermarket parts in California. California Vehicle Code section 27156(c) provides that “No person shall install, sell, offer for sale, or advertise any device intended for use with, or as a part of, any required motor vehicle pollution control system which alters or modifies the original design or performance of any such motor vehicle pollution control device or system.” Devices or systems described in this section of the Vehicle Code must be exempted by ARB to be marketed in California. Rudy’s agreed to settle this case for the sale and offering for sale of non-ARB exempted aftermarket parts in California for $39,750.00
