I read through the BS from C.A.R.B. released Jan 12. What a pile. Have you read it? This is what they're demanding (note the predictions and the time frame these data need to be to C.A.R.B.) from their FAQ...
What makes a recall plan approvable?
Each recall plan must include all the required elements detailed in California Code of Regulations Title 13, Sections 2113-2121, and Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40 Section 85.1803. These elements include but are not limited to:
a. The description of the vehicles and affected California and U.S. population
b. Description of the nonconformity and the specific recalibration and hardware corrective actions to return the vehicles to the certified configuration (i.e., no defeat device and emission compliant)
c. A description of the method by which the manufacturer will determine the names and addresses of vehicle owners and the method for notifying the service facilities and vehicle owners of the recall
d. A description of the procedure to be followed by the vehicle owner to obtain correction. This shall include the date on or after which the owner can have the nonconformity remedied, the time reasonably necessary to perform the labor, and the designation of the facilities that can perform the work
e. A copy of the owner’s notification letter
f. A description of the system by which the manufacturer will assure adequate supply of parts
g. A copy of all instructions that will be sent to those performing the repair
h. A description of the impact of the proposed repairs or adjustments on fuel economy, drivability, performance and safety of each vehicle recalled and a brief summary of the data, technical studies, or engineering evaluations which support the data
i. The estimate of the capture rate (percentage of cars successfully fixed) from the proposed recall
j. A description of the impact of the proposed changes on the average emissions from the vehicle to be recalled. The description shall include:
i. Average noncompliance emission levels
ii. Average emission reduction per pollutant from the recall repair
iii. An estimate of the average emission level per pollutant for the vehicle adjusted for the capture rate
k. A repair label shall be affixed to each vehicle that is corrected per the approved recall plan
l. A description of the impact of the proposed changes of the On-Board Diagnostics system performance on the vehicle to be recalled. The description shall include:
i. OBD demonstration testing for all major monitors
ii. Identification and disclosure of all OBD monitoring requirements that are not met in the recall calibration
BTW, C.A.R.B has also denied VW additional time.
No, it's not enough to just set the ECU to test parms full time.
IMNTBHO, VW should just buy back the California vehicles, and get C.A.R.B. out of the so-called negotiations, and just deal with the EPA.
There will be no winning with C.A.R.B. They never wanted diesels in the state, as they threaten their precious EV programs.
Goodbye California.
