Are you claiming they're failing European safety standards? American pickups are sold in "Europe". Or does "fail" mean low rating here?

While the vehicles sold under same brands and names, the outside configuration is different.

For example, you can't attach animal guards here to pickup trucks, and you need extra reflectors and different lighting configuration in US for all cars.

While not directly related to safety standards, intelligent active matrix LED lighting systems are illegal in US, too.
