Motorcycle giant Harley-Davidson on Thursday entered a $15 million settlement with U.S. authorities who accused the company of making and selling illegal devices that increased air pollution from its bikes.
The company, the iconic American manufacturer of large and loud motorcycles, agreed to buy back and cease selling so-called “super tuners,” which improved performance but increased hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions.
The company has produced and sold about 340,000 of the devices, which are prohibited under the U.S. Clean Air Act, the Justice Department said.
