Mercedes-Benz has issued a small recall that applies to about 300 units of the EQB, which is the electric version of the GLB. Built during the 2022 model year, the crossovers included in the campaign could roll away while parked due to a faulty weld in the front axle's electric motor.
Volvo began selling brick-shaped rear-wheel-drive station wagons in the United States with the 145 in the 1968 model year, continuing the tradition with the 200, 700 and 900 series wagons and all the way through the very last 1998 V90s. The benefits of front-wheel-drive proved impossible for those Göteborgers to resist, though, and so the 850 was developed. The 850 sedan first appeared in the United States as a 1993 model, with the wagon version following in 1994. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those first-year 850 wagons, found in a Colorado Springs self-service yard recently.

When we cover class action lawsuits on this platform, they often relate to pretty important safety issues, but sometimes the suit is a little less serious than that. Sometimes, a company breaks an arcane rule preventing businesses from annoying consumers over the phone, and one of the people on its call list happens to be a tenacious law a student.According to court documents, the dogged student, Miriam Grigorian, received a voicemail from FCA U.S. (which now belongs to the Stellantis empire) in 2018 about a hot deal on the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid.
Honda has been working on hydrogen-powered vehicles for over a decade and is gearing up to launch the CR-V e:FCEV later this year. However, the company has grander ambitions and they’ll introduce a Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell semi concept at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo on May 20.Designed to drum up interest in the company’s hydrogen offerings, the concept is equipped with three fuel cells and a tank that can apparently hold 181 lbs (82 kg) of the lightest element.
