Recalls I agree---I thought you were talking about these holes in the wall garages that are "authorized" inspection places.

Nothing I like better than testing our fleet right in the middle of peak.

All this reinforces my opinion that all this crap to make new diesels pass emissions in this country is not worth it if you play by the rules.

The vw recall would require a dealership to do the required repair. As far as shops that fudge smog checks, there are less of those, at least in California. They really come down hard on those shops with fines, taking away licenses and even jail time for the worst offenders. It really isn't worth it these days to pass a car that should've failed.
On a side note, they don't have a tail pipe test for 2000 and newer vehicles in CA.
Fixed.

Is that all you got? Lame

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
How bout the fact that corn ethanol pollutes more than any other type of ethonal there is?
Don't seem too worried about that.

I'll take that trade off any day.
I'm pretty sure if an owner doesn't take his car back for a recall that the Feds won't chase him down until it's done.
Plenty of Toyota owners ignored the recall to trim the accelerator pedal, and none of them are in jail.
Your assertion that the recall is mandatory is lame.

They don't need to chase them down. I have had experience with my own car. The DMV will simply not issue a renewal for registration when your car has not had an emissions recall done.
California DMV is not the Feds. You guys have your own set of problems. Don't generalize.

Like I said, you guys in California have your own problems.

It's not just California, many states now follow CA rules.
Not mine. Which ones?
