Sure that's not just something the manufacturer has to comply too?

That applies to modifications as well as normal servicing/wear and tear type issues, this is why we have reflashable ECU's it is part of the OBD2 protocol that a manufacturer must be able to update a tune if they find the car falls out of emission levels later in it's life

Ohh the irony.
