Nissan made its debut in the pick-up segment way back in 1933 with its pint-sized Datsun 12, yet Toyota managed to comprehensively usurp it with the launch of its Hilux in 1968.

If a potential safety issue is detected, carmakers take it quite seriously and recall every example that contains the fault and rectify it, one by one. Here are the recalls that occurred in April 2016,

A facelift of the Nissan Tiida hatchback was revealed by Nissan at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show. The new Tiida sports a face different to that of the model currently on sale on our shores, looking like the European-market Pulsar instead.  The front fascia resembles the one on the Maxima sedan.
