On November 19, 2019, EPA issued a Section 208 information request to Calibrated. Calibrated?s response to EPA included Calibrated?s GM 2001-2010 Ace, Jack, and King ECM tuning products as having the capability to bypass, defeat, or render inoperative devices or elements of design installed on or in motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines in compliance with Title II of the CAA. In addition, EPA found that Calibrated knowingly removed and/or rendered inoperative devices or elements of design installed in or on motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines in compliance with the CAA by installing or modifying software on ECMs installed on or in at least 1 motor vehicle.
