Cummins Inc., a company that designs, manufactures, distributes, and services diesel engines, has settled to pay $2.1 million for violations of the Clean Air Act.
Cummins "shipped more than 570,000 heavy duty diesel engines to vehicle equipment manufacturers nationwide without pollution control equipment included."
Along with paying the settlement, Cummins is also recalling just 405 engines that reached the consumer without the proper after-treatment devices, like catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters that aid in the control of pollution.
