of replacement parts that arenot of the o riginaldesign and quality

A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that
the part will not adversely affect emission performance. The
manufacturer or rebuilderof the part mustcertif y thatuse of the part
will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission
regulations.
