Nissan recalls more than 480,000 vehicles over engine failure risk
In a recall notice posted with the the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Nissan said it had identified bearing failures in certain vehicles. Nissan is recalling 443,899 vehicles in the U.S., the notice shows. In Canada, 37,837 are affected, a Nissan spokesperson told the Associated Press.
The recall affects certain of the following models with 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo engines:
2019-2020 Altima
2019-2022 Infiniti QX50
2021-2024 Rogue
2022 Infiniti QX55
Engine bearings in the recalled models may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine failure, according to the NHTSA.
Because bearing failures typically occur gradually over time, drivers may have advance warning of an engine problem. Signs include "abnormal noise from the engine compartment, rough running, malfunction indicator lights (MIL) and warning messages in the instrument cluster," the recall notice states.
Dealer remedy
To fix the problem, "dealers will inspect the engine oil pan for metal debris, and if necessary, repair or replace the engine" free of charge, according to the recall notice.
In cases where no engine debris is detected during inspection, for vehicles with the 3-cylinder 1.5L VC-Turbo engine, dealers will replace the oil pan gasket, engine oil and reprogram the engine control module. For vehicles with the 4-cylinder 2.0L VC-Turbo engine, dealers will replace the engine oil.
Owner notification letters will be mailed on Aug. 25. Owners can contact Nissan's customer service line at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti's customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
Owners can also contact the NHTSA Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-888-275-9171), or go to www.nhtsa.gov. NHTSA's number for the recall is 25V437.

Audi's U.S. Meltdown: 6 Straight Quarters of Decline--But a Radical Pivot May Be Coming
Audi, the premium brand under Volkswagen (VWAGY), just posted its sixth consecutive quarterly sales drop in the U.S.a 19% decline in Q2 deliveries, with the top-selling Q5 SUV falling off a cliff at -29%. And yet, in a surprising move, Audi isn't raising prices in July. Instead, it's eating the margin pressure, likely to avoid losing even more ground in a market that's becoming increasingly brutal for German automakers. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Sign with VWAGY. The pain isn't just cyclicalit's structural. Audi, like Porsche, still doesn't build any cars in the U.S. Its models are imported from Europe and Mexico, leaving them vulnerable to tariffsa legacy of Trump-era trade policy that continues to bite. And with Chinese EV giants like BYD (BYDDF) undercutting prices in their home market and stealing market share, Audi now finds itself squeezed on both ends: fading in China and flailing in the U.S. That might explain why Audi's CFO Jurgen Rittersberger is finally signaling a shift. In May, the company said it would pick a U.S. production site this year, and it's reportedly exploring synergies with VW's Scout brand and the existing Tennessee plant. If Audi pulls the trigger, it could be a long-overdue hedge against trade riskand possibly a lifeline in what's shaping up to be a make-or-break U.S. strategy.

SEMCOG grant paves way for Monroe road project
MONROE, MI — The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments recently awarded more than $10.7 million to 10 projects across Southeast Michigan. "SEMCOG's Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) — one of our most impactful programs — enables us to provide direct funding into communities to improve safety for all road users, connect our regional trails and greenways, and improve access to key destinations like schools, parks, and jobs," said Amy O'Leary, executive director of SEMCOG. Monroe was one of the 10 recipients, receiving $861,832 for a 0.8-mile combination of new bike lanes, sidewalks, and shared-lane markings, connecting Monroe Street with Monroe Charter Township. The section of road that the project addresses is the LaPlaisance Road corridor between Bolles Harbor and Jones Avenue. "This section was chosen not only because of its poor road condition, but also because it gave the city an opportunity to fix the challenging intersection at Jones and LaPlaisance," said Patrick Lewis, Monroe's director of engineering and public services. "These improvements helped make the project a strong candidate for federal funding." According to Lewis, completing this stretch of Jones Avenue will connect to the city's existing network of bike and pedestrian paths. It will include bike lanes on the road and five-foot sidewalks on both sides between Monroe Street and LaPlaisance Road. In addition to the grant from SEMCOG, the city will use more than $600,000 in federal funds and more than $1 million in local funds to complete the project. "From the start, the city emphasized the need to fix the complex intersection at Jones, LaPlaisance, and Navarre," Lewis said. "The new design will improve traffic flow, make it easier for trucks to navigate, and naturally slow vehicles to safer speeds. All of this supports the goal of making the area safer and more accessible for people walking, biking, or using mobility devices." The Jones Avenue project is likely to be built in 2026. "Because the project includes changes to the roadway layout, it needs to go through an in-depth review process required for federally funded projects," Lewis said. "That process affects the overall schedule." The project marks the first phase of a long-term effort to connect transportation users in the City of Monroe to Lake Erie at Bolles Harbor. — You can reach Connor Veenstra at cveenstra@ This article originally appeared on The Monroe News: Monroe road project offers new lanes for those without cars

How to watch the 2025 Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio: Who's the biggest threat to Álex Palou?
The NTT IndyCar title fight may not be over, but Sunday's Honda Indy 200 at Mid‑Ohio could make it feel that way. Álex Palou enters with 386 points and six wins this season, and a proven touch at Mid‑Ohio, where he won in 2023. He's the clear favorite, though this circuit has been historically fickle with frontrunners, with eight different winners in the last eight years — all of whom return this weekend. Advertisement Venue: Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course — Lexington, Ohio Dates: July 4-6 Watching in person? Get tickets on Stubhub. Race coverage can also be streamed via the Fox Sports app. Fox is available over the air with a broadcast antenna. Kyle Kirkwood, who sits second in the standings with 293 points, will debut a special Honda-inspired livery as he looks to gain ground. Pato O'Ward, last year's winner at Mid-Ohio, sits third at 275. Josef Newgarden and Scott Dixon (a six-time winner here) also remain serious threats on the 13-turn, 2.26-mile course. Honda engines have powered all nine winners this season, and Mid‑Ohio has been relatively kind to their camp. With just over half the season complete, this race could tip the balance. If Palou wins again, his lead could swell to near-insurmountable levels — less a battle, more a coronation march. BetMGM lists Palou as the outright favorite, with O'Ward and Kirkwood trailing, but Sunday could jolt the standings just as easily as confirm them. Everything points to another high-stakes showdown.
