EPA Announces Fix to Prevent Power Loss in Diesel Trucks
TL;DR Summary
The EPA plans to eliminate 'low DEF' limp mode in trucks starting with 2027 models, arguing that the annoyance of the feature is unnecessary, despite it helping reduce harmful emissions. This move conflicts with existing tamper prevention regulations, raising concerns about drivers bypassing emission controls. While the regulation aims to improve air quality, critics worry it may lead to increased pollution if drivers disable DEF systems.
