Why does my Dodge diesel need a smog check before the registration renewal date?

I have an early 2007 Dodge diesel pickup and I just received a notice to get a smog check, prior to renewing registration. Is this real or is it a DMV mistake?
Answer:

Typically registration renewal requests are sent by the DMV 3 months in advance. Is this the case with your Dodge? Or have you received a specific request for a smog check not accompanied with a registration renewal notice. If your received a separate request to get your Dodge smog checked with no mention of registration renewal, call the DMV at (800) 777-0133 to find out why. It is not common. posted by SmogTips Support
