To me a 130 degree stem would be a 40 degree stem mounted backwards...

Technical Alert: If you need a stem with that much rise you bought the
wrong size bike in the first place!

More seriously, is there a difference in the way of specifying the rise
of a stem between nationalities? To me a 130 degree stem would be a 40
degree stem mounted backwards...

Here is the diagram from the QBP catalog which specifies the geometry
behind the numbers in the recall.
