Such build quality! how many recalls is that now on cheap as shit Asia built models now? Absolute joke GM
Oftentimes, recalls have nothing to do with the origin of the vehicle or where it’s built. It’s all about the quality that was engineered into the process during R&D and line development. Ferrari also has recalls. Quite a few, actually:
