Steering Column Lower Joint – Nissan Frontier

• In the official press announcement concerning the steering column lower joint components issue on the Nissan Frontier models sold in the US and the Americas, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

always the same 'alasan'... if something bad happen (recall), our product is different from them...we use different parts/vendors... our spec is diffrent (lower spec laaa)....

but if something good happen (5 star NCAP rating), tomorrow will come out in paper ( 1 page).... our product is THE best in the world...

* i think proton is the only company here (malaysia) that have recall their product before.... plus a few prius??.....

others just talk bull only....

so,u think ETCM is lying to Malaysians?does the article mention cars made everywhere in the world are recalled too? nissan have diff manufacturing plants in the world to serve diff markets,of course certain parts will be sourced locally to cut cost down. and the safety ratings is universal as it's the same technologies used around the world so of course they will say is best in the world.
