1042.320—What happens if one of my production-line engines fails to meet emission standards?

(a) If you have a production-line engine with final deteriorated test results exceeding one or more emission standards (see § 1042.315(a) ), the certificate of conformity is automatically suspended for that failing engine. You must take the following actions before your certificate of conformity can cover that engine:
(1) Correct the problem and retest the engine to show it complies with all emission standards.
(2) Include the test results and describe the remedy for each engine in the written report required under § 1042.345.
(b) You may request to amend the application for certification to raise the FEL of the entire engine family at this point (see § 1042.225 ).
(c) For catalyst-equipped engines, you may ask us to allow you to exclude an initial failed test if all of the following are true:
(1) The catalyst was in a green condition when tested initially.
(2) The engine met all emission standards when retested after degreening the catalyst.
(3) No additional emission-related maintenance or repair was performed between the initial failed test and the subsequent passing test.
