No it is not. They are producing emissions way above what they are meant
to. If altering the software so they stick within their claimed emissions
also reduces the performance, it's up to the owner to get compensation.
There will be lots of others in the same position.


That's not removing the cheat, but forcing it to cheat all the time
(since it only passes the tests when cheating)...
