700 vehicles involved. Most of them never left the dealers lots.

Outstanding TNtech - but, if they included that they probably wouldn't have written the article!

This was sent out a month ago with a sheet to all dealers to stop shipments list. As far as I know none of the vans were solded until the recall was done.

The implication in this article is a minority of the 600+ made it into customers hands. On the whole, not a major deal but, it doesn't bode well for a car barely out of the gate.
