2007 and older trucks beware.

Doesn't say anything about what ot was for. For all we know it could be a fine for a delete.

 

No. It's not a delete coded violation.

HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE INSPECTION PROGRAM VIOLATIONS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING REGULATIONS)

• 2182 EXCESSIVE SMOKE
• 2183 EMISSION CONTROL LABEL
• 2183 TAMPERING
• 2184 REFUSE INSPECTION

The HDVIP program requires heavy-duty trucks and buses to be inspected for excessive smoke, tampering, and engine certification label compliance. Any heavy-duty vehicle traveling in California, including vehicles registered in other states and foreign countries, may be tested. CARB inspection teams perform tests at border crossings, CHP weigh stations, fleet facilities, and randomly selected roadside locations. Owners of trucks and buses found in violation are subject to penalties. To Clear an HDVIP Citation:
A citation notification letter will be sent to the responsible party by certified mail with instructions on how to clear the citation. Within the citation due date stated in the citation notification letter, you must do the following:

• 
  Pay the civil penalty as set forth in 13 CCR 2180-2189 and provide proof of correction as follows:
• For Emission Control Labels, provide a copy of the invoice from the engine dealer that clearly shows that a new label has been installed on the cited vehicle.
• For Excessive Smoke, provide a passing opacity test, or documentation showing transfer of vehicle ownership if the vehicle has been sold, or documentation showing that the vehicle is non-operational if it has been junked.
• For Tampering, a copy of a valid repair order showing which parts were replaced to correct the violation.

If you have questions about an ATCM or HDVIP citation received pertaining to any of the programs listed above, and the citation number begins with three letters, such as TRU, ORE, CVI, ECL, T01, T02, S01, S02, DTR, PAU, REF, SBI, SWC, STB, NOV or GHG you may contact the Diesel Hotline

 

They can’t fine you if you don’t operate in California.

 

Are you sure it’s legitimate? That P.O. Box isn’t the same one listed online. Looks pretty amateurish for a government citation. Just a thought.

 

Screw CA. Let 'em starve.

 

Did a search and found this....

It deals with marine vessels, but it does give that po box for accounts for carb. And that link is from carb.

The amateurish letter with no citation is why I doubt it's general to all 2007's and must be for something specific. I guessed a delete, but looks like I was wrong on that guess.

 

This guy operates out of Ontario, CA and he was unaware you can't operate a pre 2008 truck in California!!!??? Man, that's either the definition of stupidity or the guy knew all along it wasn't legal and was hoping to not get caught. I hope they catch a lot more of these folks, put them out of business or force them to pony up for a compliant truck. Then rates will go up.
