Scott, the NHTSA recalled calipers were supposed to be destroyed as a
condition of getting new EPB calipers, so I'm not sure how any of them would
have made their way on to eBay. Someone must have fished them out of the
trash. The replacement calipers are identical to the recalled calipers. The
problem was caused by Brembo's assembly procedure, not by a faulty part.
Also, these EPBs were originally aluminum but they are now made from
composite, for even greater weight savings. Keep in mind, a Tesla Model S
weighs 4,900 lbs, so these EPB calipers work very well on a Pantera! If
you're buying a set on eBay, tell the seller to package them very carefully
and pay particular attention to the electrical plug, as it's very easily
damaged in shipping.
