(c) Willful neglect - Corrected. The violation was due to the manufacturer's intentional failure or reckless indifference, and the violation was corrected within 30 calendar days from the date the manufacturer knew or with reasonable diligence should have known of the violation.

(d) Willful neglect - Uncorrected. The violation was due to the manufacturer's intentional failure or reckless indifference, and the violation was not corrected within 30 calendar days from the date the manufacturer knew or with reasonable diligence should have known of the violation.
