Sec. 1051.325  What happens if an engine family fails the production-line 
requirements?

    (a) We may suspend your certificate of conformity for an engine 
family if it fails under Sec. 1051.315. The suspension may apply to all 
facilities producing vehicles or engines from an engine family, even if 
you find noncompliant vehicles or engines only at one facility.
    (b) We will tell you in writing if we suspend your certificate in 
whole or in part. We will not suspend a certificate until at least 15 
days after the engine family fails. The suspension is effective when you 
receive our notice.
    (c) Up to 15 days after we suspend the certificate for an engine 
family, you may ask for a hearing (see Sec. 1051.820). If we agree 
before a hearing that we used erroneous information in deciding to 
suspend the certificate, we will reinstate the certificate.
    (d) Section 1051.335 specifies steps you must take to remedy the 
cause of the production-line failure. All the vehicles you have produced 
since the end of the last test period are presumed noncompliant and 
should be addressed in your proposed remedy. We may require you to apply 
the remedy to engines produced earlier if we determine that the cause of 
the failure is likely to have affected the earlier engines.
    (e) You may request to amend the application for certification to 
raise the FEL of the engine family before or after we suspend your 
certificate if you meet the requirements of Sec. 1051.225(f).
