it's not a design flaw
there are hundreds of thousands of vehicles on the road, some of them R51s, that have the same type of system, and are having no trouble with it
it's a manufacturing flaw, that does not necessarily affect all units, only those that received a poorly manufactured radiator
this is what warranties & extended warranties are for
should NHTSA decide that it is a safety related defect, they may force Nissan to implement a recall campaign
at this point in time, that has not happened
as for the future.......maybe it will (I wouldn't count on it)
stay tuned, as the rest of us have
