EPA asks DOJ to sue Ford over pre certification shipments
The EPA urged legal action against Ford Motor Co for shipping about 200000 vehicles to dealers before meeting Clean Air Act standards. Ford admitted 1972 models left plants before certification but claimed EPA approval. EPA tightened emissions last November and warned shipments without provisional testing approval would be barred. Ford says none were sold until certified and that consignments kept ownership with Ford.
