VW
No rush. Well, there is a rush. But it can’t be rushed. Volkswagen’s recall of more than 11 million diesel-equipped cars from the Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat brands won’t begin until January of next year.
INSIDE THE AUTO INDUSTRY
ISIS sure does love them some Toyota trucks. And Toyota can’t really change that fact.
RECALL

Land Rover is recalling 5914 copies of the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport because, “the owner’s handbook information may incorrectly describe the functionality of the Air Bag Status Indicator Lamp.”
Mitsubishi is recalling two, yes two, Outlander Sports from model year 2011 because, “The affected vehicles are equipped with incorrect certification labels that were installed during manufacturing.”
