Another blow for struggling car brand as it's forced to recall 14,000 motors over ‘confusing headlight malfunction'
It has issued six recalls so far this year HIT REVERSE Another blow for struggling car brand as it's forced to recall 14,000 motors over 'confusing headlight malfunction' A STRUGGLING car brand is facing yet another blow as it was forced to recall 14,000 vehicles. The recall concerns a headlight malfunction which could cause confusion for oncoming drivers. 2 Nissan has recalled around 14,000 cars over a headlight fault Credit: Getty The recall As a result, Nissan has recalled 13,719 of the faulty cars. It affects its 2025 Frontier model - a midsize pickup truck. New regulations mean that modern cars have to run the front lights even during the daytime. However, a software issue has left the Nissan trucks with its two front lights dimmed. The company told The Daily Mail that the lights become dim when the start-stop function occurs, usually at a red light or in traffic. It led to concern that it might confuse oncoming drivers or pedestrians, "increasing the risk of a crash". What you need to do? Thankfully the recall has a relatively easy fix. Drivers just need to bring their car into a dealership where they will receive a free computer update. A notice will be issued to customers in the post in mid-September. Sales of the car have slowed this year, with a 23 per cent decline from last year's reports. Luxury automaker to convert once-beloved sports bar left abandoned for years into an 'exclusive' motorcycle dealership Nissan's ongoing problems Nissan has been facing a number of ongoing issues, with concerns that the brand could collapse. With a $4.5 billion net loss over the last financial year, and around $4.8 billion debt, the motor company has been desperately looking for solutions. A potential merger with Honda earlier this year fell through. As part of a restructuring plan, a number of its production plants are set to close, potentially affecting thousands of employees. Amidst the financial issues, the company has also issued six recalls this year alone. Over 440,000 cars were recalled in the US over concerns of engine failure. A manufacturing defect could increase the likelihood of engine damage or failure, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall includes the 2021-2024 Rogue, 2019-2020 Altima, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50 and 2022 Infiniti QX55. All vehicles have either a three-cylinder, 1.5 litre or four-cylinder, two litre variable compression turbo engine. Drivers could take their cars into a dealership for inspection and repair if needed.

Celebrity SAS's Rudy Reyes accused of secret affair with Real Housewife behind husband's back
Phypers has denied being emotionally and physically abusive to his ex Denise Richards CHEAT SHOCK Celebrity SAS's Rudy Reyes accused of secret affair with Real Housewife behind husband's back CELEBRITY SAS star Rudy Reyes has been accused of having an affair with Real Housewife Denise Richards by her estranged husband. Aaron Phypers, 49, filed for divorce from former Bond girl Richards, 54, last month following an explosive row. 5 Rudy Reyes has been accused of having an affair with Denise Richards Credit: Getty 5 Denise starred on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test in 2023 Credit: Getty 5 Aaron Phypers filed for divorce from Richards last month Credit: Getty The American businessman has now claimed he discovered Richards was cheating on him with former Marine Reyes, 53, back in April. Richards starred with Reyes in the third series of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test in 2023. The military instructor split from his gun instructor girlfriend Jade Struck, 25, earlier this year. In an interview with The Mail, Phypers said Richards had promised to break things off with Reyes, only to hook up with him the following month in a California hotel. That alleged rendezvous was the basis for their July showdown that signalled the end of their marriage. READ MORE ON CELEBRITY SAS marching orders Celebrity SAS star axed after 'lying & cheating' on show - as another quits Phypers said: "I'm broken-hearted and f***ing tired. Really, she's f***ed me up. "We've been together nine years and for her to do that and to lie to me consistently - I'm totally tired and drained." He said the relationship had been rocky for some time, aggravated by six house moves over the course of their relationship and dozens of pets under their care. He said Richards owned 58 dogs, two pot-bellied pigs, and an 'incontinent' Sphinx cat. The disgruntled ex also accused Richards of being addicted to vicodin and alcohol. But the breaking point came when Phypers said he discovered 107 messages between Richards and Reyes, some of which detailed hotel meet ups and included intimate photos. Furious TV bosses yell at us for pushing celebs too hard, admits Rudy Reyes as he reveals reason why NONE of the stars would pass day 1 of SAS training He told the publication: "I just had this feeling that something was off because her behavior had changed – she was being kind of cool to me. "I opened her phone – we both know each other's passwords - so I opened it up and then I went to her deleted texts and there were 107 of them between her and this guy. "I went through them and it just broke my heart." Following Phypers and Richards' row in July, the actress filed a lawsuit accusing him of physical and verbal abuse, including leaving her with a black eye. Phypers has vehemently denied the claims, telling US Weekly, "Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone. "These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue. "I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience, and respect. I ask for privacy as we navigate personal matters, and I hope that the public and media will refrain from spreading harmful and baseless claims.' The Sun has contacted representatives for Richards and Reyes for comment. 5 Reyes is currently on screens in the UK in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins Credit: PA 5 Richards has accused Phypers of emotional and physical abuse, which he has denied Credit: Getty
