(b) When any manufacturer, based on enforcement test results or any other information provided or required by the ARB, proposes to initiate an influenced emission recall campaign, the manufacturer shall submit for approval by the Executive Officer an influenced emission recall plan as prescribed by Section 2114 of these procedures. The plan shall be submitted within 45 days following the receipt of a notification from the ARB that enforcement test results or other information demonstrate a vehicle or an engine noncompliance.
