The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a 2019 decision that the Diesel Brothers violated the Clean Air Act. The decision extends the prohibition against the Diesel Brothers from deleting emissions control devices from diesel vehicles. The suit was initially brought by the Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment (UPHE) and proved that private citizens can use the provisions of the U.S. Clean Air Act to hold the Diesel Brothers responsible for increasing the community's pollution burden by knowingly altering diesel emissions equipment. According to UPHE attorney, Reed Zars, the decision "represents a shot across the bow to those who traffic in the illegal modification of emission controls in cars and trucks."
