The Environmental Protection Division announced that vehicle owners adversely affected by software using overly stringent final cutpoints will be reimbursed for unnecessary repairs.

Approximately 500 older model vehicles from 1975-1992 tested between Oct.1-Oct. 16 may have failed the test due to overly stringent cutpoints. EPD identified a problem with a single test system in early October and by Oct. 16, Georgia's Clean Air Force had completed resolution of the problem by installing updated software on the 111 affected machines.
