SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California air officials say a Japanese producer of motorized vehicles will pay $2.2 million to resolve allegations that the company sold uncertified vehicles in California.

The California Air Resources Board announced Monday that Yamaha Motor Corp. USA and Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd. of Japan have agreed to a court-approved settlement to resolve allegations of illegal importation and sale of uncertified off-highway vehicles.

The allegations stemmed from an alleged failure of 2007 Yamaha Rhino off-road models to meet the state’s anti-smog certification requirements.

The settlement stipulates that both the air board and Yamaha will stop further legal actions related to sales of the vehicles and Yamaha has agreed that future vehicle sales will fully comply with California law.
