The US ones were created here in the States.smj999smj wrote:Coincidentally, Nissan had similar problems with its Navara frames, which would rot and break right where the cab and bed meet; it hasn't been an issue on the Frontiers.

There are plenty of pics of the Navaras that have had the frame break available on the web with a quick Google search.underworld1001 wrote:I read the Nissan frame issue was because of the frames being churned out in the Spain factory so it affected whatever models came from that factory.

Generalizing here, but I have heard that countries in the EU where it snows use a crap ton more salt whereas here in the states its a mix of salt and chemical treatment.
