More Than 440,000 Cars Recalled After Engine Failure Warning
Four Nissan vehicles, the Rogue (2021-24), Altima (2019-20), Infiniti QX50 (2019-22, and 2022 Infiniti QX55 have all been identified with engine bearing issues that increase the risk of an accident.
"A potential manufacturing defect in specific engine bearings (main, A-, C-, and L-link) or supporting engine components may cause engine damage and potentially lead to engine failure," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed.
Nissan offered a remedy for the issue where dealers will inspect the engine oil pan for the presence of specific metal debris. The inspection will be performed free of charge for parts and labor and should take less than one hour to complete.
"For customers with the 3-cylinder 1.5L VC-Turbo engine, if no debris is detected during the inspection, dealers will replace the oil pan gasket, engine oil, and reprogram the vehicle's Engine Control Module (ECM). This repair will be performed free of charge for parts and labor and should take less than half of one (0.5) hour to complete," Nissan revealed.
Meanwhile, for customers with the 4-cylinder 2.0L VC-Turbo engine, if no debris is detected, dealers will replace the engine oil. If debris is detected and confirmed by Nissan Powertrain Call Center, dealers will be instructed to replace the engine, which will be performed free of charge and could take up to 15 hours to complete.
Owners of potentially affected vehicles will be notified beginning on Aug. 25, 2025 to bring their vehicle to a Nissan dealer or Infiniti retailer for inspection, while the dealers will be notified on July 15.More Than 440,000 Cars Recalled After Engine Failure Warning first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 2, 2025

The Mattiacio Group Becomes Largest Franchisee in Ziebart's System with 17-Store Acquisition
The Mattiacio Group will own and operate 26 Ziebart stores across New York, Florida, Indiana, and Ohio The strategic sale underscores the strength of the automotive aftermarket brand and its franchise network No changes are expected in daily operations as The Mattiacio Group remains committed to providing the same best-in-class services to its new markets TROY, Mich., July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziebart, the global leader in vehicle appearance and protection services, proudly announces a major milestone in its franchise history: The Mattiacio Group, a longtime and highly respected operator group, has acquired 17 additional Ziebart stores from The Harris Group. With this strategic acquisition, The Mattiacio Group becomes the largest ownership team within Ziebart's U.S. franchise system, now operating 26 locations across New York, Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. "This is a defining moment for the Ziebart family," said Thomas A. Wolfe, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ziebart. "The Mattiacio Group has long been a pillar of exceptional leadership, operational excellence, and brand advocacy within our system. We also extend our deep appreciation to The Harris Group's unwavering dedication to Ziebart over the last four decades. This transition honors both legacies while positioning Ziebart for an even stronger future." A New Chapter for a Family-Led PowerhouseThe Mattiacio Group's roots in the Ziebart brand date back to 1989, when family patriarch Tony Mattiacio opened his first location. Since then, the group has grown to successfully operate nine high-performing Ziebart locations primarily in Buffalo and Rochester, New York as well as Fort Myers, Florida. The Mattiacio Group evolved into a family business throughout the years, with Tony Mattiacio's children – Mark, Zach, Ryan, and Meghan – all playing a role on the leadership team. Earlier this year, Tony Mattiacio transitioned ownership of the group to the next generation, while retaining his role as CEO. "We have always believed in the power of the Ziebart brand," said Tony Mattiacio, Chief Executive Officer of The Mattiacio Group. "This acquisition is about building on the foundation established by Jim Harris and his team, while continuing to invest in the people and processes that make Ziebart an industry leader. We're excited to bring our family values and growth mindset to even more communities." Honoring a Legacy of Franchise ExcellenceThe Harris Group, led by franchise veteran Jim Harris since 2015, has built a strong reputation for operational excellence and community service across 17 locations, primarily in the Indianapolis and Dayton markets. The acquisition comes following Harris' decision to enter retirement. As part of the transition, the team is proud to announce the promotion of Brandi Gehring to the position of President, where she'll oversee daily operations and report directly to the Board of Directors. Gehring has worked with The Harris Group's Ziebart stores for over 20 years, working her way up from Customer Service Representative to most recently Chief Financial Officer. There will be no changes to day-to-day operations across The Harris Group as a result of the acquisition. "The Harris Group's contributions to the brand are immeasurable, and we thank them for their decades of dedication," said Wolfe. "As The Mattiacio Group integrates these new stores, their leadership is committed to supporting staff, maintaining high service standards, and creating new opportunities for growth. Ziebart customers will continue to receive the same trusted services, backed by Ziebart's industry-leading expertise." This milestone merger was made possible through a unique partnership between The Mattiacio Group and five outstanding members from The Harris Group: Gehring, Tim LeMasters, Darron Woodward, Ron Derksen, and John Mongaraz. As each of these individuals have each been instrumental in building and leading The Harris Group over the years, they'll enter this next chapter as equity partners. "At The Mattiacio Group, we believe in building strong companies by building strong teams," said Zach Mattiacio, Chief Financial Officer of The Mattiacio Group. "This transition not only honors Jim Harris' legacy, but also ensures the business remains in the hands of the talented leaders who helped make it great."

Luminit Inc. Doubles Down on U.S. Manufacturing to Meet Surging Demand for Mass Production of Holographic Optical Film
Over 100% YoY Growth in Display & HUD Orders Drives New High-Capacity Volume Grating Production Line TORRANCE, Calif., July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Luminit Inc., a U.S.-based global leader in holographic optics for Automotive, Defense and Industrial applications, today announced a major expansion of its manufacturing operations with the addition of a fourth production facility dedicated to high-volume Holographic Optical Elements (HOEs). The new Roll-to-Roll nano-optics facility is being purpose-built for manufacturing Volume Bragg Grating (VBG) optical film used in a range of applications including windshield displays for vehicles and trucks, aerospace HUD's, and military gunsights. The expansion follows over 100% year-over-year increase in revenue and demand from top-tier automotive suppliers, defense contractors, and emerging mobility OEMs. The new facility complements Luminit's existing manufacturing lines in its Los Angeles campus of three manufacturing buildings and deepens its commitment to U.S.-based innovation and secure supply for critical integrated optical technologies. "This new line represents a leap forward—not just for Luminit, but for the U.S. holographic optics ecosystem," said Jonathan Waldern, CEO". "Anticipating autonomous driving, our automotive customers now want both HUD and movie theatre windshield displays" This expansion adds to our already existing capability to manufacture film by the mile, with next-gen consumer experiences that will define the future of in-vehicle UX and entertainment." Strategic Benefits to Partners and Investors High-Capacity R2R Production: Dramatically increases existing output of large-format nano-structured optical films. Volume Bragg Gratings (VBG): Unlock superior brightness, angular control, and ultra-thin form factors, ideal for AR-HUDs and automotive movie theatre windshield displays. U.S.-Based Secure Supply Chain: Reduces geopolitical risks and aligns with reshoring mandates from defense and mobility sectors. Co-Development Acceleration: Secure customer labs support faster prototyping and system-level integration with automotive Tier1s and defense primes. Smart, Sustainable Manufacturing: Automated "dark factory" lines, feature energy-efficient systems, repeatable quality, and advanced waste-optimized operations. Luminit is also expanding its production teams with recruitment, offering specialized training in nano-optics and holography production, building a rare U.S. talent base in this new frontier technology. Market Momentum and Strategic Positioning The global automotive infotainment market, currently valued at $34 billion, is projected to reach $58 billion by 2032, as AI enhanced cockpit displays, smart assistants, and immersive in-car interfaces become standard. HUDs are evolving from basic overlays to experience-defining focal points of the vehicle interior. This shift is reshaping vehicle architecture—and making optical performance and display integration a key bottleneck. While tech giants like Apple and Xiaomi race to define cockpit experiences, Luminit's proprietary holographic optics deliver unmatched thinness, wide fields of view, and optical clarity—solving longstanding challenges Tier 1s face in HUD and AR windshield deployment. About Luminit Inc. Luminit Inc. develops and manufactures advanced optical films, components, and modules using proprietary nano-structuring and holographic techniques. Its "Optical Origami" platform technology powers innovations across Automotive, Defense, Industrial, and Lighting sectors. Headquartered in Torrance, California, Luminit is the only global AMECA certified manufacturer of holographically originated R2R film today, delivering materials and system-level holographic integration already proven to meet Tier 1 quality, performance and packaging demands. Its film is already "inside" many household brand vehicles in full production. For media or investment inquiries:Visit: press@ View original content to download multimedia: SOURCE Luminit Inc.

Illinois Tool Works lifts 2025 profit forecast betting on price hikes
(Reuters) -Illinois Tool Works lifted the low end of its annual profit forecast range on Wednesday, as it expects pricing actions on its industrial equipment to cushion the impact of tariffs. U.S. President Donald Trump's expansive tariffs have driven up costs of raw materials, including steel and aluminum, squeezing margins for industrial equipment makers and forcing them to raise prices to offset the impact. Illinois Tool Works said in May that localized production, flexible operations and a diversified business mix have helped it navigate economic uncertainty. The company, which supplies components and fasteners to major clients including Ford and BMW, is capitalizing on the rapid growth of the automotive sectors. The automotive OEM segment was the biggest contributor to overall revenue with $845 million, followed by the test and electronics segment with $686 million. Illinois Tool Works now expects 2025 profit to be in the range of $10.35 to $10.55 per share, compared with its prior projection of $10.15 to $10.55 per share. It also lifted full-year its revenue growth forecast range to between 1% and 3%, from 0% to 2%. The company said its on-going pricing actions are projected to offset tariff cost impacts and current foreign exchange rates. The industrial company posted second-quarter operating revenue of $4.05 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $4.02 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. It reported a quarterly profit of $2.58 per share, compared with $2.54 per share a year earlier. Sign in to access your portfolio
