Doubt the G-wagons would fall under ITAR, since they are not US built, nor do the Americans use them.
There could be an agreement with Mercedes that they won't be sold, but that is purely speculation. I know there are 2 or 3 Gwagons in the cannibalization lineup here in Shilo, however I would think by the time they are finished taking parts, there will be very little left to sell.
I have seen recalls before. At one point, Edmonton was selling a bunch of transfer cases and axles for the MLVWs. The price was way too high first time around. Second time around, I suspect someone figured out the trucks were sticking around for another 4 or 5 years so it would not be prudent to sell off the spares yet.
