recall of the day sorry it was a misprint

China’s quality regulator has ordered the recall of 875 imported C30 vehicles. What’s wrong with the car? Nothing.

The owner’s manual of the C30 model, produced by Volvo between November 9, 2009 and February 5, 2010 has an error, reports Gasgoo. This inexcusable lapse of quality control causes “the driver to be unaware of the operating function of the sunroof as well as some safety precautions.” Owners will receive a new manual for free. The unsold 2010 C30 vehicles will have their owner’s manuals swapped at the dealers.

  Why the C30 hate? You don't know my vehicle ownership history, my usage of this particular ride nor the details of how I acquired it. So again, why the insult?

Recalls usually happen for two broad reasons: 1) safety (leading to death, or property damage), 2) compliance (you f/u the environment with out of calibration engines, or wrong manuals or labelling ((which, combined with ignorant misuse, can lead to a case-1 scenario))).

  How did you get an advance copy of the replacement user manual?

PeriSoft, you forgot "HAVE A HAPPY EVERYDAY!" Last week I found Shanghai misprinted on an Expo sign, but I'm still searching for a misprint of China itself.

  I was dropped by the grocery store the other day and out in front a new Chinese restaurant that has opened in the same shopping center had a bunch of hand written signs offering 'Chinaese food' and 'Shsui'. They'd bothered to cross out Shsui on one of them and write 'Sushi' underneath, but left it alone on the others, and hadn't bothered to correct 'Chinaese'. And just to share, this is one of the more amusing, though possibly NSFW, bits of Engrish I have seen.

  "Hit the Hard" would be a fantastic album name - though the corresponding phrase would be a bit tough to swallow as the moniker of the band itself.

  Vietnames and intentional: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/121/306600989_571ae656f5.jpg I've actually eaten there. Not bad, but not particularly memorable.
