The classic 440/460 recall was for a plate fitted below the air bag sensor....cos if you hit a speed bump too hard, the clump from the exhaust set off the airbags!!
Actually there were more recalls on the 480! they had all the 440 ones plus some that were particular to the pop up headlights!
If i rememeber right early 850's had a gearbox recall, someone would bring the car in for a first service and I'd have to explain we needed the car for 3 days as the gearbox had to be replaced!!!!

I think our 440 had some seat belt thingy recall too, and we didn't even have that from new . Ok, it was only 10 months old when we got it. Can't remember the 300 ever being reaclled, and we had that from new through to 3 or 4 years
