EMISSION RECALL REPORT

Background is given on the Environmental Protection Agency's emission recall program, followed by information on all recalls announced during 1979. If a substantial number of any class of vehicles or engines fail to conform to the emission standards in actual use, the manufacturer is required to submit a remedial plan. A summary table lists the numbers of foreign and domestic recall compaigns and vehicles recalled; included are ordered, influenced, and voluntary recalls that have already been initiated by the manufacturer as well as those in which the remedial plan has yet to be approved. A more comprehensive listing provides specific information on each recall: case/defect number, date of owner notification, vehicle class, emission problem, and number of vehicles recalled.
