Subject: [Delegates] " Power Commander " Manufacturer Fined US $1 million



From a US web site

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced recently that it concluded
an investigation against Dynojet Research, Inc. At issue was the company's
"Power Commander" that can be used to alter the air-fuel mixture and engine
timing of on- and off-road motorcycles.

CARB said that the installation of these devices would adversely affect the
emissions control systems of vehicles that were certified by the original
equipment manufacturers to comply with the agency's emissions standards. Dynojet
has now certified a California version of the "Power Commander" and has agreed
to pay $1,000,000 in penalties to the California Air Pollution Control Fund.

DYNOJET RESEARCH, INC. CASE SETTLES FOR $1,000,000 The Mobile Source Enforcement
Section along with the Office of Legal Affairs has completed its investigation
against Dynojet Research, Inc. located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dynojet was
manufacturing an after market part called the "Power Commander" that would alter
the air-fuel mixture and the timing on off and on road motor vehicles.

By installing the Power Commander this would alter or modify the original design
of the motor vehicle and would affect the emission control systems that were
certified by the manufacture through ARB. As part of the settlement it was
agreed between both parties that Dynojet would not violate the Health and Safety
Code with respect to the installation, sale, offer for sale or advertising of
any device in California intended for use with, or as part of, any required
motor vehicle pollution control device or system which alters or modifies the
original design or performance of any such motor vehicle pollution control
device or system.

Dynojet has now c certified a California version of the Power Commander that is
legal for sale and use on California motor vehicles. Dynojet also paid penalties
in the amount of $1,000,000 to the California Air Pollution Control Fund as part
of the settlement."

I wonder what implications that this will have here ?
