    Responsible car maker do recall regardless
    1. how much it cost
    2. how many cars affected
    3. how old are the affected models

    As I always said, you won’t go wrong with sushi cars.

    Some cars no recall you think safe?

    You never do body checkup doesn’t mean you are cancer free!

    • Is it responsible if it’s recalled ONLY AFTER being sued?

          Unfortunately that is only your dirty imagination. No court case so far and nope p1 did recalls but.the defects were not related to safety.

          Go proton!!!!

        You do regularly body checkup means you DISCOVER your cancer early and CURE it before you die.

        I doubt it, Edaran Tan Chong Motor does not have jurisdiction over grey import Nissan cars because they are not sold through their network. It’s up to the owners of grey import cars to determine whether their cars are affected or not, based on where it was assembled and its model year. But it’s possible that ETCM still provides support like parts and servicing for grey import Nissans in Malaysia, like Honda Malaysia… but I can’t say for sure.

    Never seen this Nissan Liberty before… That name though ! haha

    Err, I believe there’s a small typo in the article; second paragraph, ” Nissan Teana CBU assembled “. I thought CBU cars were 100% fully imported… ? o.O
