Mitsubishi Outlander hood shudder lawsuit suspended
The class action lawsuit alleges that the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander hood bounces and vibrates while driving. December 29, 2024 — A Mitsubishi Outlander hood shudder lawsuit is on hold as a mediator intervenes in the class action lawsuit, which was consolidated from two Mitsubishi hood class actions. A joint class action lawsuit alleges that 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander hoods vibrate and bounce while driving, an issue the automaker allegedly cannot fully fix. According to the class-action lawsuit, Mitsubishi knew about the 2022 Outlander SUV's hood shudder problem before the vehicle was first sold. A recall is needed for 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander models with a shuddering hood, according to an SUV owner who filed a lawsuit. The plaintiffs claim Mitsubishi should have recalled the 2022 Outlander soon after it was first sold. Instead, the lawsuit claims, Mitsubishi Outlander hoods have not been recalled because the automaker has issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) to dealers.

F1: Haas allowed to leave Netherlands after settling dispute
Haas can now ship its car and equipment to Monza for the upcoming Italian Grand Prix after Uralkali confirmed receipt of the refund. Haas has been allowed to ship its cars and equipment to Monza after settling a dispute with former sponsor Uralpotash. The Russian company had filed a lawsuit against Haas and confirmed it had received around $9 million and a Formula 1 car as part of the settlement. The team was temporarily stranded in the Netherlands during the Dutch Grand Prix due to a court-ordered intervention. Uralpotash claimed Haas had missed a July deadline to repay part of the cancelled sponsorship deal. In June, a Swiss arbitration court ruled that while Haas was justified in terminating its title sponsorship deal following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the team still owed Uralpotash a partial refund for the 2022 season. Haas was ordered to return funds received after March 4, 2022, when the deal was officially cancelled, and to provide Uralpotash…

This gap, combined with the team's overall struggles, ultimately led to the decision to part ways. After the season, speculation about a replacement intensified. Nico Müller, who recently released his contract with ABT, has emerged as the frontrunner for the Andretti seat. The Swiss driver is highly respected in Formula E. It’s worth noting that Andretti’s powertrain supplier, Tag Heuer Porsche, considered him as a potential replacement for Antonio…
