Ford F-Series Super Dutys Recalled for Possible Brake Failure, Owners Told Not to Drive Them
Ford's latest safety recall filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) focuses on a few thousand F-Series Super Duty pickup trucks—specifically to fix a retaining spring on the brake booster pushrod, which can fail. If that were to happen, the affected Super Duty truck would lose all brake function, as the brake pedal would no longer be, in effect, connected to the brake booster that operates the hydraulic brake system.
Ford is recalling 2,345 F-Series Super Duty trucks (2025 models) due to a potentially faulty brake booster pushrod issue. Affected owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until inspected and fixed given that it could result in brake failure. This is part of a series of recent Ford recalls.

You can see how that might be a problem. So, too, does Ford. And NHTSA. So the recall (NHTSA campaign no. 25V401000) comes with a DO NOT DRIVE warning. Owners of affected Ford trucks should park their vehicles and not drive them for any reason until their dealership can inspect and, if necessary, repair the brake pedal pushrod retaining spring in question.
The issue is limited to 2,345 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty pickups, all from the 2025 model year. Letters alerting owners to the issue were sent out starting June 18, 2025. The inspection and repair of the trucks will, of course, be free of charge to owners.
Ford has had a busy period of recalls of late, with 1 million of its products recalled for a backup camera issue, while our very own Maverick pickup truck has been hit with several recalls in the short period of time we've owned it.

Dolby Atmos Sound Coming To Audi Cars From July
With recent research from the Federal Highway Administration revealing that more and more of us are spending longer and longer in our cars, Dolby seems to be on a mission to make the estimated three trillion miles a year Americans collectively spend on the road more enjoyable. The audio brand has already introduced its Dolby Atmos surround sound system to a range of different cars from brands including Mercedes, Cadillac, Lucid and Lotus (see the links at the end of this article), and now it's adding another big name to its Dolby Atmos car 'fleet': Audi. Dolby Atmos sound is coming to multiple Audi car models from July. No less than four different models from Audi's current car range are going to start being delivered with Dolby Atmos support built in from July 2025: The Q7s, Q8s, A8s and e-tron GTs. To make Dolby Atmos work in these ranges, Audi has had to introduce two significant innovations to their already impressive sound systems. First, the cars' integrated Bang & Olufsen Premium 3D Sound Systems have been specially adapted to handle Dolby's premium surround sound format. Second, Audi has provided access to multiple sources of Dolby Atmos audio content, including Amazon Music, Audible and Tidal, via apps integrated into the cars' multimedia interface and available via the Audi Application Store. Tracks can be selected for playback via this system by either the driver or front passenger. If you're not familiar with the benefits of Dolby Atmos sound, it's a so-called 'object based' sound system designed to create a three-dimensional sound stage that wraps right around the listener, including over their head. Sound effects and musical layers and elements are then placed within and steered around this three-dimensional space, rather than sounds just appearing to come from the position of the speakers as happens with traditional speaker systems. Or to put it in Dolby's own terms: 'Dolby Atmos allows artists to fully realize their creative vision, bringing the listener inside the music. Dolby Atmos creates a deeper connection between artists and their fans, transcending ordinary listening experiences by immersing listeners in their favourite songs and revealing every detail with unparalleled clarity and depth.' Artists really seem to be embracing the Dolby Atmos format now, too. In fact, no less than 93% of Billboard's 2024 Top 100 Artists released music mastered for the Dolby Atmos format, and both new Dolby Atmos releases and old track remasters have continued to become available across all the Atmos-enabled sound streaming networks throughout 2025 to date. Dolby Atmos at Audi will apparently be available in all Audi connect markets, which includes most European countries, the U.S. and Canada. — Related Reading Dolby Atmos Sound Coming To All 2026 Cadillac EVs – And Some 2025 Models Too Dolby Vision And Dolby Atmos Added To More TVs, Monitors, PCs And Cars Lucid Air Revealed As The World's First Car With Dolby Atmos Sound Dolby Atmos Music Introduced To New High-End Mercedes Cars Apple Dolby Atmos Comes To Cars For The First Time, Courtesy Of Mercedes

Colton Herta finds balance on, off the race track
The Brief IndyCar racer Colton Herta has learned that finding an outlet away from the track is invaluable. He's been at the IndyCar level since 2018. His dad, Bryan, drove at that level for more than two decades, and they do talk about the family business. ELKHART LAKE, Wis. - Longtime race fans recognize the last name, newer fans recognize the potential, and the driver himself recognizes his situation.

Andretti Global has long taken a global view of what it wants from its drivers besides driving. "Sometimes it's not fun to do it after you've had a terrible day and then you have to answer questions about why it was so terrible," Herta said. "But it's part of it. We try to up the sport, we try to grow the team and at the end of the day, it's part of our jobs." Advertisement The backstory The 25-year-old comes by his experience honestly.

And hearing about stuff he's gone through and how the sport has changed over the years is really interesting for me," Herta said. "Obviously there are some things I can learn from him and have throughout the years." Advertisement He has learned that finding an outlet away from the track is invaluable. These days, that outlet for Colton is golf, and that dovetails perfectly with his business trip to Elkhart Lake. What they're saying "Yeah, I love it. I was fortunate to play Erin Hills in the week leading up. I'm going to play the Straits on Monday. And Wisconsin is, for me, really golf heaven," he said. "It's a beautiful state for a lot of things, but for golf especially." "I didn't grow up wanting to play soccer or be an astronaut or a rock star or whatever, I wanted to be an IndyCar driver, so it's a dream come true for me," Herta said. "I feel extremely lucky. I understand what a normal worklife is and how fortunate I am to be paid to do this job and it's a passion. I think if you asked a lot of us, we'd do it for free, and I'm lucky enough that they pay you."
