President Donald J. Trump signed a memorandum on June 29, 2026 directing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue guidance on the “freedom to fix” for vehicle emissions. The memo states that the previous administration had imposed regulatory burdens that increased vehicle costs, and the current administration aims to reduce or remove these burdens. The President directs the EPA to clarify what actions consumers may take to repair or replace emission controls in compliance with the Clean Air Act. The memo also instructs the EPA to encourage and expedite certification of aftermarket parts by other testing organizations, to reduce dependence on the California Air Resources Board and lower costs for consumers. The President further signals that civil enforcement actions against good‑faith repairs may be deprioritized.
