"More than 9,000 North Carolina license plates have been recalled because they begin with "XXX""
May I ask why over 8,000 were distributed AFTER the recall went into effect?- johndi, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2They weren't. Those never made it to the customer. It's more like the recall from a warehouse or grocery store shelves.
FTA: "At least 1,015 of the plates were distributed before the recall went into effect, but Howell said gathering the remaining stockpile should be easy. They are only available at two bureaus — Greenville's 10th Street location and the branch in Roanoke Rapids."

- sjbdallas, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2Wonder of there was a XXX-420 plate and if they realized that was 2 terms they might not want on a plate.
- jordankasteler, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2Or "XXX 069" might be more appropriate
