The Honda models recalled over brake pedal issue
Honda is recalling more than 259,000 vehicles in the U.S. due to a brake pedal problem that could increase crash risks.
The recall includes the 2023-2025 Honda Pilot, 2023-2025 Acura MDX, and the 2021-2025 Acura TLX.
The issue involves a faulty brake pedal pivot pin that may not be properly fastened, potentially causing unintended brake application or other malfunctions.
Honda dealers will inspect affected vehicles and replace the necessary parts for free; dealer notifications were sent June 13, and mailed letters to owners will go out July 28.
No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall, though Honda has received three warranty claims related to the issue.

Toyota's Next Corolla Cross Could Get Prius-Like Makeover
Unique designs for Europe and America possible From the GR Corolla to TRD-badged large SUVs, Toyota has several new models for all kinds of enthusiasts, be it those who enjoy track days or adventure junkies who prefer off-roading. However, there are a few cheaper Toyotas that still give off the dependable-but-entirely-unremarkable vibe many still associate with the brand. One such Toyota is the Corolla Cross, the smallest Toyota crossover in America. Based on comments by a Toyota exec, this model's bland design is hurting sales in certain markets. He strongly hinted at the need for a more exciting future design, as well as a look unique to major markets, to drive more interest in the Honda HR-V rival. Bland Design Blamed For Flagging Corolla Cross Sales 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross — Source: Toyota In Europe, sales of the Corolla Cross were down by 14% across the first four months of 2025, whereas the more evocative C-HR (not currently sold in the USA) saw sales rise by 9.6% over the same period, relative to 2024. 'We don't have the perfect Corolla Cross for Europe, in the sense it's a global model,' said Andrea Carlucci, head of product strategy and marketing at Toyota Europe, when speaking with Auto News. 'If we bring more European zest, sales will be up.' He specifically suggested that designing a single model to cater to both Japanese and American tastes has come at the expense of what Europeans want. The next Corolla Cross, then, could get unique designs for Europe and the USA. It wouldn't be the first time a major model gets a unique design for these two regions – Honda already sells a Euro HR-V that looks completely different to the American one. Source: Toyota To address the crossover's lack of personality, a new GR Sport trim was recently introduced for Europe. Around the same time, the US-spec Corolla Cross got a more aggressive design, but it's still not as interesting as a Hyundai Kona or Chevrolet Trailblazer.

Carlucci's comments suggest that the next Corolla Cross will receive a much sportier design, and as we've seen recently with the Prius, Toyota has the ability to quickly transform a nameplate from bland to glam. More Power Would Be Welcome, Too Source: Toyota In America, the current Corolla Cross has a 169-horsepower engine. Paired with a CVT, acceleration is both languid and boomy. Take the Mazda CX-30, for example; its base model makes 191 hp, and the conventional six-speed automatic also makes for a sportier driving experience. Then again, Americans don't seem to be as sensitive to the Corolla Cross's ordinary look. In the first quarter of 2025, sales of Toyota's smallest SUV in this market were up by 45.2% relative to 2024. The popularity of the 196-hp hybrid helps, too – it's one of the most efficient crossovers around, and isn't as slow as the base model. But Toyota has clearly not yet unlocked the potential of the Corolla Cross. If the next gen could mix a Prius-like makeover with hybrid-only powertrains (as the 2026 RAV4 has done), it could become yet another best-seller for the company. We don't expect to see the second-gen Corolla Cross before 2027. About the Author Karl Furlong View Profile

Lexus IS 500 Climax Edition Marks End of V8 Compact Sedan
Add this to the long list of weird car names The last compact sedan with a V8 engine really is on its way out. After Mercedes-AMG killed the V8 in the C63, the Lexus IS 500 was the last sedan of this size to retain a V8, but it seems this characterful Lexus won't be around for much longer, both in America and beyond. A few weeks ago, Lexus announced the IS 500 Ultimate Edition, a run of just 500 models that will be sold in North America. Now, it's Japan's turn to say goodbye to this sedan with the IS 500 Climax Edition. As far as car names go, this one can be thrown into the same box as the Daihatsu Naked and Ford Probe. Awkward name aside, this special edition is likely to become something of a collector's item in the years ahead. 0:03 / 0:09 Thinking about buying a Toyota RAV4? These 5 rivals might change your mind Watch More Sporty Styling Upgrades Much like our own Ultimate Edition, the Climax Edition will feature 19-inch forged BBS wheels in a sinister matte black finish. These partially conceal upgraded Brembo brakes with six-piston calipers. To match the black trim, special Neutrino Gray paint has been introduced for this model, which is inspired by neutrinos. If you also had no clue what those are, they're elementary particles produced in outer space, where they move at the speed of light. Eight other colors will be available for the Climax Edition, though. Inside, Lexus Japan has hilariously added several IS 500 'Climax Edition' plaques, not that anyone owning this car would forget what it's called. A red and black color scheme adds to the raunchy look, and even the analog clock in the center of the dashboard gets a new background. Familiar Power, Epic Soundtrack Nothing has changed under the hood, not that it had to. Producing 472 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque, the rear-wheel-drive IS 500 can run from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. That time is no longer earth-shattering, but it's accompanied by a soundtrack that no rival can match. Keep your foot planted, and the fastest IS will reach 149 mph. Paddle shifters can be used to take manual control over the eight-speed automatic transmission. In Japan, the IS 500 Climax Edition goes for 9,500,000 yen, which is equivalent to around $65,000. It's set to go on sale in August, and America's own Ultimate Edition will go on sale later this fall. About the Author Karl Furlong View Profile

Walmart is selling an ‘amazing' $530 electric scooter for $269, and shoppers say the ‘battery life is impressive'
Autoblog aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. Saving money on gas is important, but what if you could avoid the need for it altogether? Right now, Walmart is selling a fuel-efficient e-scooter for nearly 50% off that'll take you where you need to go for less. The Yisufo Electric Scooter is on sale for $269, which is 49% off the original $530 price tag. This e-scooter boasts almost a dozen five-star ratings at Walmart and shoppers say it's 'a game changer' and 'a fun, eco-friendly, and efficient way to get around.' Yisufo Electric Scooter, $269 (was $530) at Walmart With a 500-watt brushless motor at its disposal, this e-scooter tops out at 18 miles per hour and can go up to 26 miles on a single charge. And because it's made with a durable aluminum alloy frame, this sturdy, electric steed can support up to 308 pounds. As for safety, front drum brakes, rear reflectors, and a front LED light are just some of the handy features this electric scooter has. It's suitable for everyone from adults to 12-year-olds and perhaps best of all, it conveniently folds up, making it a breeze to store in a trunk or garage. To top it all off, shipping is completely free of charge. 'Amazing quality,' one reviewer began. 'I couldn't be happier with my new electric scooter! The build quality is solid, the ride is smooth, and the battery life is impressive, easily covering long distances in a single charge. The speed is perfect for local commuting and the braking system is reliable, making me feel safe even at higher speeds.' 'Easy to assemble and packed with features, including bright front and rear lights,' another shopper said. 'It's foldable, easy to carry, and fits conveniently in the trunk. The price is also reasonable. I recommend [it]!' The Yisufo Electric Scooter is at a reduced price at Walmart, but there's no guarantee how long that'll last. Add this e-scooter to your cart ASAP before the almost 50% discount scoots away for good this summer. About the Author Daniel Donabedian View Profile
