Their was no recall, but theire was a high % of the first release Xerions that were sent back to UH due to poor design of the packaging which led to mirrors breaking of & warning signs + badley wired axeles causing the trackrods to break. So version 2 is a new packaging design + some minor inprovements to the model - tighter steering, front bonnet closes properly and a darker paint job on the bottom chassis & some changes to the back of the Xerion, with the last 2 i can not notice changes when their side by side.
