A United flight from San Francisco to Paris was diverted to Denver due to an engine issue, with emergency services on standby as a precaution.

Boeing has been under scrutiny for the safety and quality of its aircraft, and its CEO is set to step down at the end of the year.
Honda's 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, used in popular models like the Civic and CR-V, has been plagued by oil dilution issues, particularly when used for short trips or in cold climates. Unburned fuel can mix with the engine oil, leading to lower viscosity and inadequate lubrication, potentially causing engine wear and misfires. Despite attempts to address the problem with software updates and warranty extensions, a recent class action lawsuit suggests that oil dilution remains an ongoing issue for newer Honda 1.5T vehicles, leaving owners with limited options for repair or replacement.
