There are safety recalls, and then there are really time-consuming, expensive safety recalls. Toyota is experiencing the latter, having discovered earlier this year a defect in its twin-turbocharged V-6 truck engines that power the Tundra pickup truck as well as Lexus's LX luxury SUVs—at least, those 2022 to 2023 model-year variants built between November 2021 and February 2023 (or the same model years built between July 2021 and November 2022 for the LX). The issue can cause the engine stall unexpectedly; per Toyota's NHTSA recall notices to dealers:

Toyota's GR GT3 Concept, first shown at the Tokyo Auto Salon over two years ago, is progressing towards a street-legal version. The street model is expected to carry the Lexus badge and is rumored to be named "LFR". It will not serve as a direct successor to the LFA but rather as a follow-up to the RC F. The car is expected to be powered by a V8 engine, possibly with twin turbochargers, though official specifications have not been confirmed.

Given the fact that it tends to implement summer shutdowns in July amid the Independence Day holiday, it’s no surprise that production of several Ford and Lincoln models have historically taken a dip over that same time period. This has been true of quite a few models thus far in 2024, even in cases where plants may not have been shut down for any notable period of time. It’s also true of the Lincoln Aviator, as the luxurious crossover experienced a decline in production in July, too.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

An anonymous source told Automotive News last month that the Nissan Altima is dead after the 2025 model year; other anonymous sources have give the Altima two years to live. Either way, death appears close by. Now that Nissan's announced what buyers can expect for the 2025 Altima, we know there's life in the old girl yet, but a little less than before. The top SR VC-Turbo trim drops off the menu, taking its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 248 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. That leaves the 2.5-liter four-cylinder putting out 188 hp and 180 lb-ft as the sole engine, shifting through a continuously variable transmission to either the front or both axles depending on trim.
