Autosales, Inc., headquartered in Ohio, has agreed to pay a $600,000 penalty under the Clean Air Act for illegally selling “defeat devices,” according to the EPA Monday.
Defeat devices are aftermarket products that are designed to bypass, defeat, or render inoperative emission control technology in motor vehicles, the agency said.
The company allegedly offered or sold at least 2,390 exhaust emissions control delete hardware parts for diesel-fueled motor vehicles between Jan. 1, 2018 and Oct. 2, 2019, according to the agency.
