Very nice! Only the description should state "...imported 10 per year to the United States from 1979 to 1986 and 1989 to 2001."
The original statement makes it sound like there are only 10 in the US. We know there are more. |

Oh yeah. I forgot; this did specify G500. I was including 230G, 280G, 280GE, etc... as part of the total years import totals to the US. |

Where are you getting your numbers? I have entirely different ones from a pretty knowledgable source.
As an example, there was a USDOT/NHTSA recall of the 1999-2000 Europa G500 Gwagens. Total recalled: 220. That's just for those years, but totals a whole heckuva lot more than the 10/y total you're claiming for all of those years mentioned. FWIW, my knowledgable source says they imported about 30/yr prior to the G500's.
Let's be real careful about stateing facts without good documentation to back them up. |

No, I was just referring to the SWB G500s. Russell at Europa told me only 10 per year of the SWBs were imported. Does your recall figure include LWB and cabrios? |

All G500's imported by Europa, regardless of body style. It was a recall specific to the polution control system for that engine. |

Wow! Now you have me thinking about recalls. Other than the pollution controls for all G500s (LWB, SWB, and Cabrio), were there any other recalls? Thanks again Dutch. BTW, I'll be a bit more careful--I tend to type faster than my thinking. I'll make sure I state things more clearly. |

There was also a recall to relabel the automatic shift lever for the G500's. |
