The company says it has received a total of 20 reports where a fire occurred in the engine. Of those, three were monstrous, damaging the car and nearby structures.

Five other complaints mention that a fire occurred five minutes after the engine was shut down, and four others indicate minor injuries (but no burns).

There are 43 legal complaints filed so far…

At this time, FORD is unable to repair any of the possibly affected vehicles, but as soon as they are able to take action, affected owners will be sent a letter and will need to make an appointment with the nearest dealer immediately.

Once there, if your vehicle is among the affected lot, a car will obviously be loaned from the dealership if the repair takes a few days.

In addition to checking and repairing if necessary, dealers will update the car’s software to detect a cracked injector. A warning light will come on in the dashboard if this is the case.

Note also that the warranty that covers this “defect” is 15 years or 240,000 kilometers.

On the paper in question, there are messages for suicide prevention, an initiative that was created by some universities in the Yamanashi prefecture.

The writings encourage young people to confide in each other when things are not going well.

This message is the creation of a mental health specialist, as are the soothing drawings on it.

One person responsible for this project said that being alone in a toilet could cause anxious thoughts.

A total of 12 universities shared 6000 rolls.

It should be remembered that since the arrival of the pandemic caused by COVID-19, the suicide rate has jumped in Japan and several other countries.

Monopoly Events, who worked with Winburn, shared a touching tribute from the man, reports The Sun.

“We are extremely saddened to learn of the passing of James Winburn, who joined us for For the Love of Horror last month. James was an absolute pleasure to be around and shared some incredible stories with everyone over the weekend. Our sincere condolences go out to his family, friends and fans. #RIP.”

If you’re Myers fans, you may remember the scene where he was shot six times by Dr. Samuel Loomis, falling over the balcony, only to mysteriously disappear afterwards… a key moment in the career of Winburn, who also starred in The Fog and Escape From New York, among others.

Merrick Garland, the U.S. Attorney General, has appointed a special investigator to “monitor” the ongoing criminal investigations of Donald Trump.

The lawyer in question is longtime federal prosecutor Jack Smith, and he will oversee this investigation, which contains several strands on Donald Trump’s efforts to subvert the 2020 election, in addition to the mob summons during last year’s deadly assault on the Capitol.

Not to mention the unauthorized White House documents he allegedly dragged with him from office…

The purpose of this appointment is simply to protect the Department of Justice from the conflicts of interest of a criminal investigation, since Trump has freshly indicated his willingness to take back his throne as president.

By Smith’s account, his ultimate mission is to move the investigation forward expeditiously to the appropriate outcome and consequences.

So Mr. Trump is not out of the woods!

“Sorry Dad, I won’t be on board!”.

Ivanka Trump has spoken out about her father’s 2024 presidential bid, and that’s not good news for the old man.

Donald Trump So has just lost the key element of his close guard, especially since Ivanka was the only one in the group who was able to reason with him.

The 41-year-old woman indicated last Tuesday that she would not be on her father’s team for this presidency because of his priorities, which are his three children.

Let’s remember that Trump announced that he is running for re-election, hence his daughter’s announcement on the matter:

“I love my father very much. This time around, I have chosen to prioritize my young children and the privacy we are creating as a family. I have no intention of getting involved in politics,” she said.

On the other hand, although she will not be part of her father’s team, she made it clear that she would still support him, but that she would do it away from the political ring.

Recall that Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, acted as senior advisors to Trump during his four years as president.

She also worked on DT’s last (2020) campaign.
