Kia has recalled over 425,000 Tellurides after a roll-away issue while the vehicle is in park. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that the metal rods connecting the engine and transmission to the wheels in 2020-2023 Kia Telluride models can become damaged over time, leading to the car unintentionally moving while in park, which could lead to an accident. Owners of any Telluride models made between these years should visit their nearest Kia dealership to get the issue fixed, and Kia will reimburse them for the repair.
On another note, cranes and crews have arrived in Baltimore, and they are now beginning the complex issue of removing the numerous steel beams criss-crossing the Patapsco River after a cargo ship smashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge earlier this week. Of the eight construction workers on the bridge, two were initially rescued, and two of the remaining six missing workers that were on the bridge at the time of collapse have been found dead, but the other four remain 'presumed dead' as the bodies have not been found. However, divers cannot go into the river to search for the remaining bodies because of the dangerous steel beams strewn across the river. Four heavy lift cranes, ten tugboats, nine barges, eight salvage vessels, and five Coast Guard boats have come to Baltimore to remove the wreckage of the bridge as fast as possible, as it is blocking access to the city's main port area. President Joe Biden approved a $60 million immediate aid package to help the dire situation, as the Port of Baltimore is the nation's 17th largest port (as of 2021). It creates 15,000 jobs and is the number one port in the United States for automobile imports. It is also a major port for coal and soybeans, but thankfully, it is not one of the nation's largest ports. There will still be a sizable impact on the world economy, but not too big. Crews are racing to get the debris out of the way as soon as possible for the port to quickly resume operations.
