The sooner Volkswagen gets this crisis behind them, the less impact it will have on their reputation in the future.
RECALL
American Honda is recalling 17,796 copies of the 2015 Fit because the Fit, “may experience damage to the wires inside the Plug Top Ignition Coils (PTC) due to improper protection against electrical noise.”
TESLA
Tesla’s third model – and the second purely in-house model – will be the Model X utility vehicle. We’ve seen pictures, but at 8:00 PM tonight in California, Elon Musk will reveal the production Model X tonight and hand over the first versions to paying customers.
REVIEW
