What must be done if a vehicle fails an emissions test?

If a vehicle fails an emissions test, the appropriate action is to fix the underlying issue that caused the failure and then schedule a follow-up test within 30 days. This process is essential as it ensures that the vehicle meets the necessary environmental regulations and contributes to reducing air pollution. The follow-up test within the specified timeframe allows both the vehicle owner and regulatory authorities to confirm that the repairs have been effective and that the vehicle is now compliant with emissions standards.

While there may be other consequences or actions related to a failed emissions test, such as potential penalties, the primary requirement is that the vehicle must be repaired promptly and retested to ensure compliance.
