On April 15, 2025, the federal district court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania entered the Consent Decree negotiated between plaintiff United States, on behalf of EPA, and Turn 14 Distribution, Inc. (Turn 14), one of the country?s largest wholesale distributors of automotive parts. The Complaint, filed concurrently with the Consent Decree, alleges that Turn 14 violated Title II of the CAA by selling or offering for sale approximately 140,000 defeat devices. The Consent Decree prohibits Turn 14 from selling any automotive product with a principal effect of disabling, defeating, or rendering inoperative emissions-related elements of design installed on or in motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines (defeat devices), unless the product has been issued a CARB Executive Order (EO) for the advertised automotive applications. Turn 14 also is required to destroy its existing inventory of defeat devices, deny warranty claims, cease technical support for the defeat devices sold, notify customers who purchased the defeat devices, educate its employees on CAA compliance, and provide EPA with access to its business-to-business website. The air pollution caused by the sale of these defeat devices are estimated to be equal to adding over 121,000 vehicles to America?s roads. Under the proposed Consent Decree, Turn 14 will pay $3.6 million in civil penalties for its past non-compliance, based on financial information demonstrating its inability to pay a more substantial penalty.
