Stellantis triggers a large recall campaign in France which concerns 237,992 vehicles produced between 2023 and 2025 and equipped with the 1.2 EB2 Gen-3 engine (the PureTech replacement). The manufacturer evokes a power line problem: at the level of the high pressure pipe between the pump and the injection ramp, nuts can be insufficiently tight, or even absent, depending on a reminder, which can cause a fuel leak and, in the worst case, a fire departure. The owners receive or will receive a letter and are invited to make an appointment with their dealer for an intervention taken in charge…

I’ve been using OPNsense for my firewall and router for a while, having heard so many great things about it from my colleagues. Being able to install it on a wide variety of hardware was a new experience, and the depth of plugins and scripts helped me learn a lot about networking.
