Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
An engine family, test group, a vehicle family, a trailer
					 family or a subgroup shall be subject to a recall when the number of failures
					 of a specific emission-related component exceeds the failure level set forth
					 below, unless the Executive Officer determines from the emission information
					 report that a recall is unnecessary pursuant to the criteria set forth in
					 section 2148(a) and (b).
					 Vehicles or engines in an engine family or test group shall be recalled at the
					 following failure levels: 4 percent or 50 (whichever is greater) for 1990
					 through 1991 model year vehicles or engines; 3 percent or 50 (whichever is
					 greater) for 1992 through 1993 model-year vehicles or engines; and 2 percent or
					 50 (whichever is greater) for 1994 and subsequent model-year vehicles or
					 engines. 2020 and subsequent model-year trailers are subject to recall at the
					 following rates: 2 percent or 50 (whichever is greater). The Executive Officer
					 may extend the applicability of the 4 or 3 percent failure levels if he/she
					 determines that proceeding to the next lower level will create an excessive
					 administrative burden on the ARB or the vehicle or trailer manufacturers
					 without a corresponding benefit in the reduction of emissions.
In the case of 2024-2026 model year California-certified
					 heavy-duty diesel and Otto-cycle engines, and heavy-duty vehicles, vehicles or
					 engines in an engine family or test group shall be recalled or subject to other
					 corrective action at the following failure levels: 4 percent or 25 (whichever
					 is greater). In the case of 2027-2030 model year California-certified
					 heavy-duty diesel and Otto-cycle engines, and heavy-duty vehicles, vehicles or
					 engines in an engine family or test group shall be recalled or subject to other
					 corrective action at the following failure levels: 4 percent or 25 (whichever
					 is greater) for the first five years of the warranty period, and 5 percent or
					 35 (whichever is greater) for years 6 through 7 of the warranty period. In the
					 case of 2031 and subsequent model year California-certified heavy-duty diesel
					 and Otto-cycle engines, and heavy-duty vehicles, vehicles or engines in an
					 engine family or test group shall be recalled or subject to other corrective
					 action at the following failure levels: 4 percent or 25 (whichever is greater)
					 for the first five years of the warranty period, 5 percent or 35 (whichever is
					 greater) for years 6 through 7 of the warranty period, and 7 percent or 50 for
					 years 8 through 10 of the warranty period.
