DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act
On October 25, 2021, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Navistar,
Inc., Civil Action No. 15-cv-6143 (MRR).
The government's Amended Complaint alleges that Navistar, Inc.
violated the Clean Air Act by introducing into commerce 7,749 heavy-
duty diesel engines for use in trucks and buses in model year 2010
without a valid EPA-issued certificate of conformity demonstrating
compliance with Clean Air Act standards to control nitrogen oxide
(NOX) emissions. The complaint also alleges that the engines
did not conform to emission standards applicable to model year 2010
engines.
The Consent Decree requires Navistar, Inc. to perform projects to
mitigate 10,000 tons of NOX emissions, to retire Navistar's
current balance of NOX emission credits under EPA's
Averaging, Banking, and Trading program (estimated to offset an
additional 2,145 tons of NOX emissions), and to pay a civil
penalty of $52 million within thirty days of entry of the Decree.
