"Multiple Honda Models Recalled in 2023 Due to Engine Concerns"

Honda is recalling nearly 250,000 vehicles, including Acura and Honda models, due to a defective connecting rod bearing that could cause the engine to malfunction or stall while driving, posing a risk of fire, crash, or injury. This is Honda's 14th recall of the year and the fifth largest, bringing the total number of Honda vehicles recalled in 2023 to over three million. Owners will be notified by letter in early January, and dealers will inspect, repair, and replace the engines free of charge.

Emirates Order Talks Shadowed by A350-1000 Engine Concerns

Emirates Airline President, Tim Clark, has stated that the airline will not order Airbus A350-1000s unless Rolls-Royce makes significant improvements to the Trent XWB-97 engine, including a thrust increase. Clark expressed concerns about the engine's performance and durability, stating that it is not meeting the airline's expectations. Rolls-Royce acknowledges the need for improvements but rejects the idea that the engine is defective. The issue cannot be resolved through a lower-cost maintenance agreement, and Emirates is requesting guarantees for up to 2,500 cycles on wing. Clark also pushed for a 10,000 lb. thrust increase. Emirates recently placed an order for 90 Boeing 777Xs and is negotiating a deal with Airbus for up to 50 A350-1000s.
