More news on this subject.  I had a discussion with my supplier yesterday and found out a VERY interesting bit of information.  ALL BOSCH products that they supply me with come from GERMANY and are total remanufactured to original specifications.  There are “Other” BOSCH “Rebuilt” or “Remanufactured” products that are coming out of Mexico.  Look at the box they came in and it becomes evident where they came from.  The returns or warranty claims on the ones coming from German is practically NIL the returns or warranty claims on the ones coming out of Mexico is abnormally high.
