You might think Volkswagenâs $14.7 billion dirty diesel settlement in 2016 served as a warning not to tamper with vehicle emission systems. Apparently not.
Since the VW settlement, the Environmental Protection Agency has stepped up enforcement against car part makers whose products, in a quest for more speed or economy, disable emissions systems. As amateur racers see it, environmentalists are outlawing their sport.
