UAW Strikes: Impact on Car Shoppers, GM's Request, Promises of Middle-Class Life, Biden's Support, and Future Clues

The United Auto Workers (UAW) strike against Big Three automakers may not have an immediate impact on car shoppers, but there is a risk of supplies decreasing and prices increasing in the long term. However, parts shortages could affect vehicle repairs sooner, potentially causing delays. The strikes have expanded to parts distribution centers, which could interfere with repairs as dealerships struggle to find necessary parts. While the strike may not immediately affect car prices, it could lead to the absence of incentives offered by automakers. The impact of the strike will depend on its duration and which plants are affected.

BMW recalls older models due to potentially deadly airbags.

BMW has issued a "do not drive" warning to owners of about 90,000 older models in the US due to defective Takata-manufactured airbag inflators that might explode in a crash. The affected vehicles are 2000-2006 model years that have been recalled before but have not been brought in for repairs. The order affects the 2000-2006 BMW 3 Series (E46) models including M3, 2000-2003 5 Series (E39) including M5, and 2000-2004 X5s (E53). Replacement parts are available, and the repairs will be done free of charge.
