Abstract: Engine manufacturers are required to submit Defect Information Reports (DIRs) if emission-related defects are found on engines of the same models year that may cause the engines' emissions to exceed the standards. EPA uses these reports to target potentially nonconforming classes of engines for future testing, to monitor compliance with applicable regulations and to order a recall, if necessary. Manufacturer can also initiate a recall voluntarily by submitting a Voluntary Emission Recall Report (VERR). VERRs and VERR updates allow EPA to determine whether the manufactureer conducting the recall is acting in accordance with the CAA and to examine and monitor the effectiveness of the recall campaign.
