Mercedes Recalls 65.000 Cars (E & CLS) In Japan

[PanterroR]

According to published reports approximately 65,000 models of the series E-class-and-CLS-class, that were imported between February 2002 and April 2007, are reviewed in Japan, on leak in the gasoline tank. In the worst case, gasoline could emerge in the concerned vehicles - accidents would be however not well known.

^^so why would this recall only pertain to the Japanese market?

No idea, they also say this:

The exact amount of the defective vehicles could not be confirmed by manufacturer-side. The call back would be restricted only on Japan, emphasized the Mercedes-speaker on demand on Monday (10.12.). In Germany, no models of the call back would be concerned.

Guess they have different petrol-guns (don't know the word), so different pieces...

So there are 65.000 E+CLS in Japan, that is a bloody large amount of them in Japan. And why is the recall only limited to Japan? I remember a forum member from the US had problems with his E350's fuel tank as well. I think the car had the same problem as stated in the recall.
