or engines in on engine family or lest group arc subject to recall at the following failure levels: 4 percent or SO (whichever is greater) for 1990 

through I 99 I model year vehicles or engines; 3 percent or SO (whichever 

is greater) for I 992 through 1993 model-year vehicles or engines; and 

2 percent or SO (whichever is greater) for 1994 and subsequent modelyear vehicles or engines. The Executive Officer may extend lhc applicability of the 4 or 3 percent failure levels ifhc!shc dctcrmmcs that proceeding to the next lower level will create an excessive administrative burden 

on the ARB or the vehicle manufacturers without a corresponding benefit 

in the reduction of emissions.

upon any information in ARB possession which indicates that a failure 

of significant scope is occurring which might necessitate o recall, including but not limited to the in usc enforcement test results specified in Section 2140(o) above, and information gathered from ARB in use surveillance activities, Smog Check inspections, and consumer complaints. 

(3) For 1982 through 1989 model yCjlr vehicles or engines. not more

A defect shall be determined in accordance with procedures ~toblished by a manufacturer to identify safety related defects. 

(b) No emissions information report shall be required if a monufocrurcr has committed to perform a recall by notifying the ARB of it.~ mtcnt

(a) In order to overcome the presumption of noncompliance set forth 

in Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2123(b),thc overage 

emissions of the vehicles ond engines with the failed emission related 

component must comply with applicable emission standards. A monufocrurcr may demonstrate compliance with the emission-standards by 

following the procedures set forth in either subsection (b) or subsection 

(c) of this section. 

(b) A monufochlrcr moy test properly maintained in usc vehicles with 

the foiled emission related component pursuant to the opplicoblc ccnification emission tests specified in Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 1960.1, 1961, 1961.2, or 1961.3, as applicable, for passenger cars, light duty trucks, and medium duty vehicles. Section 1956.8 

for heavy duty engines and vehicles, Section 1958 for motorcycles, ond 

Section 2442 for stcmdrivc'inboord marine engines. The emissions shall 

be projected to the end of the vehicle's or engine's useful life using in 

usc deterioration factors. The in usc deterioration factors shall be chosen 

by the monufacrurcr from among the following: 

(I) "Assigned" in usc deterioration factors provided by the ARB on 

a monufocrurcr's request and bused on ARB in usc testing; or, 

(2) deterioration factors generated during ccrtificotion, provided od· 

justmcnts arc made to account for vehicle aging, customer mileage ac· 

cumulation practices, type of failed component, component failure 

mode, effect of the failure on other emission control components, commercial fuel and lubricant quality, and any other factor which may affect 

the vehicle's or engine's opcratmg conditions; or, 

(3) subject to approval by the Executive Officer, o manufacturer generated deterioration factor. The l:xccutivc Officer Shall approve such deterioration factor if it ts based on in usc dolo generated from ccrtificotion 

emission tcqts performed on properly motntamcd and used vehicles in accordance wtth the procedures set forth in Sect on 1960.1, 1961, or 1961.2 

ofTitle 13 of the California Code of Regulations, as applicable, for passenger cars, light duty trucks, and medium-duty vehicles; Scctionl956.8 of Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations for heavy

Code of Regulations for motorcycles, and tf the vehicles from which it 

was derived arc rcprcscntotivc of the in u.~c fleet with regard to emissions performance and nrc equipped with stmilar emisston control technology as vehicles with the failed component. 

(c) In lieu of the vehicle or engine emisston testing described in subsection (b) above and subject to approval by the Executive Officer, a 

manufacrurcr may perform an engineering analysts, laboratory testing or 

bench testing, when appropriate, to demonstrate the effect ofthc failure.

Fnctors to be considered shu II include but nrc not limited to the following:

(3) the possibility of induced tampering due lo driveabilily problems 

resulting from the failure; 

( 4) the ciTccts orthc litilure on perfonnance, fuel economy, and safety; 

(5) the failure mtes and the timing and extent of a remedy if no recall 

is required; and 

(Ci) other factors specific to the failure. 

(b) Notwithstundingsubsection (n) above, n recull shu II not be required

report which dcmonstr.JlL'!I to the satisfaction of the Executive Officer 

that the failure: 

(I) is limited to an emission related component on o less than substantial percentage of vehicles and docs not represent o pervasive defect 

in design, application, or execution which is likely to oiTcct a substantial 

number of such emission related components during the useful life of 

the vehicle or engines, ond 

(2) is likely to be corrected under the warranty progrum or other 111 usc 

maintenance procedure shortly after the inception of the problem. 

(c) lfo manufacturer con identify o subgroup ofan engine fumily or
