New Jersey is allegedly scanning Facebook for coal-rolling diesels and threatening sellers with jail.
According to Sebold, DEP stated they knew the truck he was previously trying to sell had been illegally modified, and that he would need to bring it back into legal status within 60 days. If the truck is not brought back into compliance, which Sebold estimates will cost him around $10,000, the letter states he could face jail time. As it sits, Sebold is legally barred from selling the truck by state statute N.J.A.C. 7:27-14.3, and must bring it into compliance before moving on from the vehicle.
"The Department is aware of social media platforms on which diesel vehicles with modified emissions systems are offered for sale or sold by someone in New Jersey," an NJ DEP spokesperson said in a statement issued to"The act of trying to sell or selling a vehicle with a tampered emission system is a violation of rules.
Other New Jersey residents familiar with Sebold’s situation chimed in on Facebook to share similar stories. Many voiced their frustrations about the state’s ability to enforce such a policy, while others suggested opting for a pre-DEF diesel vehicle. Some have even tried to help source the parts that Sebold needs to bring the truck back into compliance. That’s trickier than you’d think, as most owners end up tossing emissions parts in the bin once they’ve modified their trucks.
