The exhaust issue used to be on the XT600E.
The assembly location in my experience doesn't matter (I've been in the Automotive sector since 1993), there is no engineering gene, eugenics is utter rubbish however applied and good or bad management will always give the final result. The biggest recall I've ever been involved with centred around clueless weakly managed Germans, it was the "dodgy" Eastern Europeans who were crying out the warnings and fixed it in the end. The whole world "assembles" , no one does every process on a single site, Henry Ford has been dead for years. I really would take the "Made in...." stickers as just advertising.
