The 10 most-stolen vehicles in the U.S. are...

Posted: 13 Jul 2017 09:44 AM PDT

The 10 most-stolen vehicles in the U.S. are...Every summer, the National Insurance Crime Bureau publishes a list of the most-stolen vehicles in America for the previous calendar year. This summer is no exception.  As in previous years, the NICB compiled its list by gathering data submitted by law enforcement agencies to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Crime Information Center. The NICB's Hot Wheels report contains not only a breakdown of the biggest targets for auto thieves overall, but also a rundown of vehicles from the most recent model year (in this case, 2016) that have proven popular with ne'er-do-wells.  ALSO SEE: My car seats were in a crash, so I'm replacing them: why you should too In both groups, we see that sedans and coupes are the most commonly stolen vehicles in the country. Pickups come in second, with SUVs and crossovers targeted least frequently of all. Here's a list of the most-stolen vehicles from all model years: 1. 1997 Honda Accord  2. 1998 Honda Civic  3. 2006 Ford Pick-Up (Full Size) 4. 2004 Chevrolet Pick-Up (Full Size) 5. 2016 Toyota Camry 6. 2015 Nissan Altima 7. 2001 Dodge Pick-Up (Full Size) 8. 2015 Toyota Corolla 9. 2008 Chevrolet Impala 10. 2000 Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee When we look at just 2016 vehicles, we see some of the same models, though the order shifts a bit:  1. 2016 Toyota Camry 2. 2016 Nissan Altima 3. 2016 Toyota Corolla 4. 2016 Dodge Charger 5. 2016 Ford Fusion 6. 2016 Hyundai Sonata 7. 2016 GMC Sierra 8. 2016 Hyundai Elantra 9. 2016 Ford Pick-Up (Full Size) 10. 2016 Ford Transit The NICB takes pains to note that the total number of auto thefts has dropped dramatically since the high-water mark reached in 1992. As an example, the organization points to the number of late-model Honda Accords and Civics stolen--a number that has plummeted thanks to the availability of "smart key" and other anti-theft technology. (For reference, the 2016 Accord was the 16th most-stolen vehicle last year, while the 2016 Civic didn't even make the top 25.)  However, the NICB also notes that anti-theft technology doesn't do anything if owners don't use it--or, for example, if owners leave their keys and/or fobs in their vehicles.

1.3 million Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep vehicles recalled for alternator failure, sudden airbag deployment

Posted: 14 Jul 2017 07:41 AM PDT

1.3 million Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep vehicles recalled for alternator failure, sudden airbag deploymentThis morning, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published two recalls from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Together, the recalls affect more than 1.3 million Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles worldwide, including over 805,000 vehicles registered in the U.S. RECALL #1: 2011-2014 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Dodge Durango; 2012-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee UNITS AFFECTED: 442,214 in the U.S. and approximately 123,000 registered elsewhere This recall affects vehicles equipped with electro-hydraulic power steering systems, 5.7L or 3.6L engines, and 160, 180, or 220 amp alternators. In those vehicles, NHTSA says that the alternator may fail without warning. Should the alternator fail, the vehicle can stall. Depending on where and when the stall occurs, it could dramatically increase the risk of a crash. In a worst-case scenario, NHTSA notes that it's also possible for the alternator to short-circuit and catch fire.   FCA has received two reports of collisions that may be linked to the issue, but there have been no reports of injuries so far. Owners of these vehicles will receive recall notices from FCA by mail, instructing them to schedule service appointments with their local dealerships. Notices are expected to be sent around August 24, 2017. Dealers will inspect each vehicles' alternator and replace it, depending on its part number. The fix will be carried out at no charge.  If you own one of these vehicles and have further questions, contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and ask about recall T36. Alternately, you can call NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline at  1-888-327-4236 and ask about safety campaign #17V-435. RECALL #2: 2011-2015 Dodge Journey UNITS AFFECTED: 363,480 in the U.S. and approximately 407,520 registered elsewhere (including the Fiat Fremont) In these vehicles, NHTSA reports that the driver's frontal airbag may deploy without warning. Should that happen, it could result in an crash, injure the driver, or both. FCA says it has received reports of six injuries potentially related to the issue, but no reports of collisions.  The problem stems from a wiring harness that's associated with the driver's frontal airbag and is located within the steering wheel. Over time, the wiring harness may get chafed, resulting in a short circuit, and that, in turn, can cause the airbag to deploy suddenly. FCA plans to mail recall notices to owners by August 21, 2017. After receiving those notices, owners will be able to take their vehicles to dealerships for service. The fix involves an inspection of the airbag wiring within the steering wheel and replacement of that wiring, if necessary. NHTSA says that FCA dealers will also install a protective cover to prevent chafing in the future. All repairs will be made at no charge to owners.   For additional information, you're asked to contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and ask about recall T47. Or, if you prefer, you can call NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 and inquire about safety campaign #17V-432.

Fishermen express fury as Fukushima plant set to release radioactive material into ocean

Posted: 13 Jul 2017 10:27 PM PDT

Fishermen express fury as Fukushima plant set to release radioactive material into oceanLocal residents and environmental groups have condemned a plan to release radioactive tritium from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean. Officials of Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the plant, say tritium poses little risk to human health and is quickly diluted by the ocean. In an interview with local media, Takashi Kawamura, chairman of TEPCO, said: "The decision has already been made." He added, however, that the utility is waiting for approval from the Japanese government before going ahead with the plan and is seeking the understanding of local residents. fukushima timeline The tritium is building up in water that has been used to cool three reactors that suffered fuel melt-downs after cooling equipment was destroyed in the magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami that struck north-east Japan in March 2011. Around 770,000 tons of highly radioactive water is being stored in 580 tanks at the site. Many of the contaminants can be filtered out, but the technology does not presently exist to remove tritium from water. "This accident happened more than six years ago and the authorities should have been able to devise a way to remove the tritium instead of simply announcing that they are going to dump it into the ocean", said Aileen Mioko-Smith, an anti-nuclear campaigner with Kyoto-based Green Action Japan. Takashi Kawamura, chairman of Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings Inc. (Tepco), speaks during a group interview at the company's headquarters in Tokyo Credit: Bloomberg "They say that it will be safe because the ocean is large so it will be diluted, but that sets a precedent that can be copied, essentially permitting anyone to dump nuclear waste into our seas", she told The Telegraph. Fishermen who operate in waters off the plant say any release of radioactive material will devastate an industry that is still struggling to recover from the initial nuclear disaster. "Releasing [tritium] into the sea will create a new wave of unfounded rumours, making all our efforts for naught", Kanji Tachiya, head of a local fishing cooperative, told Kyodo News.
