Are we legally liable for problems with a used car that we sold?

We sold a car and gave the seller an emissions test from the beginning of the yaer; the sale was 4 months later. However, now the car won’t pass emissions. We lowered the price of the car because we knew it would need a catalic converter but had no idea this had to do with emissions and told the buyers about the catalic converter. They have contacted us over 2 months later and asked us to pay to get it fixed. Are we legally liable?
