"This testing revealed that the FCA vehicle models in question produce increased NOx emissions under conditions that would be encountered in normal operation and use."

Still seems like they go out of their way to not say that the increase in emissions exceeded any limits. The violation is specifically that the specific software was not disclosed.
Wow. Someone needs to tell the EPA about the inverted pyramid.

You can't blame me for missing that when they bury the lede in the very last paragraph.

That aside, the headline here still says the opposite of what it means to say. Exceeding the standard is a good thing. Exceeding the emissions limit is a bad thing.

This is the subtitle of the article:

    > FCA allegedly installed and failed to disclose software
    > that increases air pollution from vehicles
Second sentence of the first paragraph:

    > The undisclosed software results in increased
    > emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the vehicles.
What more do you want?
I need more random people on the internet to tell me how stupid and illiterate I am, I guess. Thanks, that's really helpful.
