President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum on June 29, 2026 that expands Americans’ ability to repair their own vehicles. The Memorandum directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator to issue guidance clarifying which actions individuals may take to repair vehicle emissions systems in compliance with the Clean Air Act. It also directs the EPA to encourage and expedite alternative certification pathways for aftermarket parts, reducing reliance on the California Air Resources Board’s certification process. The Memorandum instructs the EPA to consider deprioritizing civil enforcement actions against individuals who, in good faith, attempt to return vehicles to their original configuration. Trump’s administration claims the move will lower repair costs for families. Earlier in 2026 the administration released guidance affirming farmers’ right to fix agricultural equipment, estimating $33,000 savings per repair. The memorandum follows other deregulatory actions, including the revocation of the Obama‑era “Endangerment Finding” and resets to Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards.
