Nissan is recalling more than 51,000 Kicks SUVs because a software defect can cause the dashboard display to go partially or completely blank, potentially preventing drivers from seeing critical vehicle information.The recall affects 51,598 model year 2025-2026 Nissan Kicks vehicles manufactured between June 24, 2024, and Jan. 9, 2026, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.Nissan said a software logic error within the vehicle's combination meter, or instrument cluster, can trigger a communication failure between electronic controllers during a cold startup. If that occurs, the display screen may show a partial image, a blue screen or go completely blank.The malfunction can prevent warning lights, indicators and other safety-related information from appearing on the dashboard, causing the vehicles to fall out of compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 101 governing vehicle controls and displays.NISSAN RECALLING OVER 26,000 VEHICLES DUE TO DOOR ISSUE THAT COULD INCREASE RISK OF CRASH"If the combi-meter display cannot show safety related telltales and indicators, the driver may unknowingly operate the vehicle in an unsafe condition, increasing the risk of a crash," Nissan said in its filing with federal regulators.Nissan identified seven technical reports and 205 warranty claims related to the issue between October 2024 and April 2026, though the company said it is not aware of any crashes or injuries connected to the defect.The automaker said it first became aware of the issue after receiving a field report involving a 2025 Nissan Kicks with a blank display screen at startup. Although technicians initially could not duplicate the problem, diagnostic trouble codes related to the instrument cluster and communication systems were stored in the vehicle.NISSAN ISSUES MASSIVE RECALL AS FAULTY PART THREATENS ENGINE FAILUREOver the following months, Nissan and supplier Continental investigated additional reports involving intermittent blank or blue-screen displays. Engineers ultimately traced the issue to an integrated-circuit malfunction that can disrupt communication within the instrument cluster, causing the display to go blank.The recall affects one of Nissan's newer U.S. models and comes as automakers continue to grapple with software-related defects that have become an increasingly common source of vehicle recalls.NISSAN INCREASES JOB CUTS TO 20K BY 2027To fix the problem, dealers will update the combination meter software at no cost to owners. The repair is expected to take about 30 minutes.Dealer notifications began May 22, while owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed beginning July 1. Vehicle owners can contact Nissan… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - How FRE Nicotine Pouches landed a first-of-its-kind sponsorship with UFC and TKO...In between the thrill of the bouts on fight night, you may notice a new partner listed on the canvas of a UFC octagon: FRE Nicotine Pouches. In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, FRE became the "official nicotine pouch partner" of UFC and the rest of TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (TKO) affiliated properties, including Zuffa Boxing, PBR (Professional Bull Riding), and UFC BJJ, as well as IMG-owned World’s Strongest Man and Formula Drift. FRE has been quietly building a sports portfolio that reaches those performance-obsessed audiences across the country, but the announcement of the partnership with TKO last month was a landmark title sponsorship. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXBUSINESS.COMUFC became the first major U.S. sports property to have an "official nicotine pouch" partner, making this a deal that changes the landscape of a category that will have an estimated $50 billion market by 2033. Summer Frein, chief revenue officer at Turning Point Brands, the branded consumer products company that markets and distributes products, including alternative smoking accessories, spoke with Fox Business about how FRE wanted to get into sports. And TKO’s properties, especially UFC, made too much sense. "Obviously, first and foremost, we wanted to pick something that aligns with our brand, and our tagline is ‘Own Your Edge.’ When you think about people who own their edge, sports immediately come to mind. And when you think about TKO — I said this to someone last week — where the hell do you own your edge more than knocking someone out in an octagon," Frein said in a recent interview. UFC, BUD LIGHT TEAM UP TO MAKE ALREADY HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SUMMER OF FIGHTS THAT MUCH BETTER: ‘A FAN DELIGHT’"The consumers who are at the events overlap with our consumer base very directly, both from an adult nicotine consumer perspective, but just the characteristics of them. What they believe in, what they embody (has) a lot of overlap with us as well in terms of being competitive, performance-driven and that sort of thing."The UFC has an audience that is over 90% adults, 21 years or older, making it an ideal platform for responsible marketing of adult consumer products like nicotine pouches. But, from an athlete's perspective, research into how nicotine could enhance sports performance has been abundant. Smokeless tobacco has been widely used by athletes to enhance performance, with nicotine serving as a central nervous system stimulant among other anatomic effects. And while nicotine had a… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
