(a) If the Executive Officer finds that the recall plan is designed effectively to correct the nonconformity and complies with the provisions of section 2125, he or she will so notify the manufacturer in writing. Upon receipt of the approval notice from the Executive Officer, the manufacturer shall commence implementation of the approved plan. Notification of vehicle, engine, or trailer owners and the implementation of recall repairs shall commence within 45 days of the receipt of notice unless the manufacturer can show good cause for the Executive Officer to extend the deadline.

(b) If the Executive Officer does not approve the recall plan or the mitigation measures provided in section 2130 as submitted, the Executive Officer shall order modification of the plan or mitigation measures with such changes and additions as he or she determines to be necessary. The Executive Officer shall notify the manufacturer in writing of the disapproval and the reasons for the disapproval.

(c) The manufacturer may contest the Executive Officer's disapproval by requesting a public hearing pursuant to the procedures set forth in sections 60040 to 60053, title 17, California Code of Regulations. As a result of the hearing, the Board may affirm, overturn or modify the Executive Officer's action. In its decision, affirming or modifying, the Board shall specify the date by which the manufacturer shall commence notifying vehicle, engine, or trailer owners and implementing the required recall repairs.

(d) If no public hearing is requested in accordance with (c) above, the manufacturer shall incorporate the changes and additions required by the Executive Officer and shall commence notifying vehicle, engine, or trailer owners and implementing the required recall repairs within 60 days of the manufacturer's receipt of the Executive Officer's disapproval.
