| Your web pages at safercar.gov list both an unimog u500 and a unimog u500na (north america -- as opposed to european) models. the u500 and u500na models are in fact the same and should not have separate listings. searching for one model will give incomplete results as some of the data is divided into two categories - when it's the same vehicle. (by the way - the incident info is ficticious as the form required it the fields!) | |||
