Nope! There must be an app to this.

Phone GPS should suffice.

Wow unbelievable if this is actually happening. Like the VW diesel cheat.
How do these guys think they won't get caught?

“I’m super rich and smart. Plebeians are dumb. I run the world now so I can get away with anything!”

Something like that…

I got an app but thinking about it only a certain percentage of cars are hitting the mileage limit before time. And then if they are doing this they certainly wouldn’t apply this to every car that’s out of warranty. More chances to get caught.

Key difference is this cheat didn't lead to thousands of premature deaths due to NOx pollution (mostly in EU, for the record).

If true, then the underlying cause is the same, greed. It's all about saving corporate $$ and making more profit.
