I consider the recalls as being good.
I used to own a shop that did repair work. An engineer friend of mine bought a Nissan van. The van ran out of coolant and overheated when his wife was driving it. They paid the Nissan shop a huge amount of money to replace the water pump. The van still overheated and ran low on water after the Nissan Dealership replaced the water pump.
The engineers ask me to look at their Nissan Van. I told him there was a Technical Service Bulletin about one of the freeze plugs leaking on the side of the engine. The freeze plug leak was the problem and not the water pump.
If it was a Ford Ford would probably issue a recall for the freeze plug. Because it was a Nissan the owners would have to pay hundreds of dollars for the repair and the Nissan service department could not find the problem.
I have had better luck with domestic cars and the parts cost less.
