Right to Repair

Following Monday’s right-to-repair announcement, EPA is demanding DEF failure data from engine makers, targeting shutdowns and derates that cause costly downtime, with more DEF changes expected.

Under today’s guidance, EPA says farmers can temporarily override emissions systems to make repairs, as long as the equipment is returned to compliance, claiming manufacturers misused the Clean Air Act to block access.

The equipment manufacturer has responded to claims it restricts equipment owner and independent service technician access to software codes and diagnostic capabilities with the release of a new Operations Center PRO Service tool.
