YATMING 1980 CHEVROLET C10 PICK-UP 1/64

Despite having nearly 100 Yatming diecasts in my collection its only now have I actually got any of their super budget 800 Series. Seemingly they were actually offered in the UK market but for whatever reason they completely passed me by until I found a beautiful 20 vehicle set on Ebay recently.
Every casting has clearly been designed down to a very cheap price yet many like this 1980 Chevrolet C10 Pick-Up are actually licensed despite initial appearances with names on the baseplate and the signature bowtie badge on the front grille. There is an interior as such though all you'll literally find is a pair of seats and nothing else.
Mint and boxed.

DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS


Posted on: 2001-04-24
Description
Vehicle description: certain 2-wheel drive pickup trucks fail to comply with requirements of fmvss no.  120, tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars.  The problem was caused by a computer error that resulted in the certification label listing tire size and inflation pressure information that differ from the tire size and the inflation pressure information for the tires on the vehicle.  If the vehicle owner or someone servicing the vehicle inflates the tires according to the pressure specified on the label versus the appropriate pressure for the tires, the tires could be under-inflated or over-inflated depending on the tires mounted on the vehicle.

Consequence
If the tires are under-inflated, it could reduce the tread life of the tire, and the tire could degrade to a point of allowing sudden air loss.  If the tires are over-inflated, it could reduce the tread life of the tire and increase susceptibility to road hazard damage.  If sudden air loss or a road hazard causes damage to a tire, control of the vehicle could be adversely affected and could result in a vehicle crash.

Corrective Action
Owners will be provided with a new label and installation instructions.  However, a dealer can install the label if the owner so desires.  Owner notification began may 31, 2001.  Owners who do not receive the label and installation instructions within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or gmc at 1-800-462-8782.

Notes
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
