The California Air Resources Board fined Nissan $4.4 million because the diagnostic equipment it used to monitor its vehicles' tailpipe emissions from 2005-07 was sub-standard. The problem was noted at a 2007 compliance review. Now NIssan will pay $3 million to the California Air Pollution Fund, $1.2 million to the Environmental Education Initiative and $200,000 to the National OBD Clearinghouse.
