What Should I Do If My Car Is Affected?
According to The Times, the airbag defect has affected around 60m vehicles worldwide, with new figures from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) obtained by Auto Express suggesting around 3.4m affected cars are registered in the UK. Because Takata supplied airbags to many car makers, the issue isn鈥檛 isolated to a handful of manufacturers either. Brands that have issued recalls for Takata airbag defects include, but aren鈥檛 limited to, BMW, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota and Volkswagen. Even though the recall is the largest to ever hit the motor industry, it appears many drivers of affected cars still haven鈥檛 had the issue sorted. According to the Auto Express-sourced DVSA figures, of the 3.4m vehicles in the UK that are known to have been fitted with the defective airbags, more than 1.7m of them are yet to be repaired. How do I find out if my car needs to be recalled? The most direct way to find out if a recall has been issued for your car is by entering your vehicle鈥檚 registration number into the DVSA鈥檚 online recall checker.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States and China are working to narrow their differences enough to sign a 鈥減hase one鈥?trade deal as early as this month, but suggestions for a signing venue range from Alaska to Greece. U.S. President Donald Trump said he and Chinese President Xi Jinping could sign the agreement in Iowa, a state with historical connections to Xi, and one that would benefit from increased Chinese purchases of U.S. Multiple sources briefed on the trade talks in the United States said a signing in Greece was unlikely. Greek government officials said that so far, there had been no indication of a request for such a ceremony during Xi鈥檚 visit. Instead, the two sides could choose a relative halfway point such as Hawaii or Alaska, multiple U.S. 鈥淭here was a suggestion about Alaska, there was a suggestion about Hawaii. I鈥檓 sure the Chinese will have some suggestions in China,鈥?U.S. The lack of consensus on a signing location reflects the fluid nature of the talks.
鈥?Here, Ocana alleged only that 鈥淧LAINTIFF has taken the VEHICLE to the MANUFACTURER'S seller/agent on at least four (4) separate occasions.鈥?鈥?There is no allegation Ford did not comply with a provision of the express warranty. 鈥?found in section 2304(a) of the MMWA, see supra p. 5, onto all written warranties. 15 U.S.C. 搂鈥?304(a)(4). 鈥?In support of this position, Ocana employs the plain language of the Act, and two cases issued by the Fourth District Court of Appeal, Rentas v. DaimlerChrysler Corp., 936 So.2d 747 (Fla. Gates v. Chrysler Corp., 397 So.2d 1187 (Fla. 鈥?We disagree with Ocana on this argument. 鈥?The plain language of the Act does not engraft the standards and remedies of section 2304 to 鈥渁ll warranties鈥?as argued by Ocana. 鈥係ection 2304 is entitled 鈥淔ederal minimum standards for warranties.鈥?鈥?As noted in the Act itself, those warranties that meet the Federal minimum standards are 鈥渇ull鈥?warranties, and those that do not, are 鈥渓imited鈥?warranties. 鈥?To accept Ocana's argument would obliterate the careful distinction the Congress established between the two categories of warranties.
