I didn't read anything about a Nissan recall, just about the motors eating up tons of oil and a few of them catching on fire. Okay, my mistake.

If this were an american company, I'd read nothing but crap from people on here. In just the past week I've read about Nissan, Toyota, and Honda recalls (the funniest being Nissan for cars catching on fire). We all know people would be giving Ford or GM crap if they had a recall. Why not give the foreign auto makers crap for having to do recalls? I guess some think it better to support foreign companies than domestic companies. The news bias in the auto industry seems just as bad as with any other news. What’s with the praise to foreign auto makers for having recalls?

My mom had a 1999 Accord, we got recall and problem notices all the damn time. Honda reliablity is no better than any domestic.

Voluntary? Maybe from the standpoint of the NHTSA, but there was probably preassure from the domestic (Japanese) transportation department. Either way, it comes down to a cost basis, regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign. Anyone who praises "voluntary" recalls should re-watch Fight Club. Specifically the scene where Edward Norton describes a process by which a major automaker decides whether or not to issue a recall. “five people in Japan suffered burns from contact with melted ignition switches.”
