Missed the date thingy.
I was at two places that "had it to see and fondle" and they were the same with the "Stop Tag" attached and china all over the place. Surprisingly, one place was a junk yard (recycling yard). They said they don't take them off cars as they are either already broken or will be soon enough. He "said" they had sold 11 this year as of end of may and had 3 more on order.

I rarely have any faith anymore in labeling. Like all ads, it seems to be all about blatant deception to the consumer.

I've had OEM parts from dealers that are stamped made in china.

Up here in Canada there was a big to-do about product labeling for fish and food products. Here in canada, fish can be grown and fed in an east asia polluted water fish farm, caught there, processed there, frozen there, and shipped to a factory half way around the world to Nova Scotia where a Canadian slides it into a box that is made in Canada and is therefore labeled product of Canada.

The rules state that if 51% of the production cost (Paraphrase) is Canadain then the whole dang thing is product of canada.<end digression>
