"Massive Honda Recall: 750,000 Vehicles Affected by Airbag Sensor Issue"

Honda is recalling 750,000 vehicles in the United States due to a defect in the air bags that could cause them to deploy unintentionally during a crash. The recall includes certain models from 2020-2022, and Honda stated that there have been no reports of injuries or deaths related to the issue. The defect is attributed to a change in the base material of the printed circuit board of the seat weight sensor by a supplier after a natural disaster impacted the manufacturing plant of a subcontractor. This comes after Toyota and Honda issued recalls in December for similar safety concerns.

Samsung's Response to Galaxy S24 Ultra Display Issues Leaves Consumers Frustrated

Some Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra users are experiencing a vertical green line defect on their displays, but Samsung is refusing to exchange the defective units, instead insisting that the devices be returned and repurchased, causing consumers to lose their pre-order discounts. Carriers are also deflecting responsibility, with some customers being charged restocking fees for returning the defective units. This issue is affecting some units sold by U.S. carriers, and consumers are left frustrated by the lack of support from both Samsung and the carriers.

Peloton's Bike Seat Defect Overshadows Ninth Straight Quarter of Loss.

Peloton has identified a defect in its entry-level bikes’ seat posts after 12 reports of injuries sustained by users emerged, including one user left with a fractured wrist, while also announcing at the same time a wider than expected loss in the current quarter, marking a ninth straight quarter of losses. The defect, which has affected at least 35 users so far, involves a defect on the part attaching the saddle to the frame on its “Original Peloton” indoor stationary exercise bike, which costs around £1,350. Peloton has notified the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) about the “potential product safety issue” and is working with the regulator to finalise a corrective action plan.
