The Wellness Industry Has Come for Your Luxury Car

Bloomberg04-04-2025

The Lincoln Nautilus sports the same constellation grille, rounded box styling, turbine wheels and linear taillights as the other three luxury SUVs in the 108-year-old brand's lineup. Where it sets itself apart is on the inside, with a cabin that not only includes a panoramic color display that wraps from one end of the dash to the other but also now features the automaker's 'Rejuvenate' program.
This 'multisensory stress-reduction initiative,' as Lincoln calls it, combines a dizzying array of elements: There's a stereo, 30-way adjustable heated/cooling/massaging front seats, an air filtration system, multicolored door/dash/footwell ambient lighting, high-definition screens and integrated scent atomizers to offer three 'immersive relaxation' or 'invigoration' sequences, each lasting from five and 10 minutes. One of the sequences even offers a guided meditation produced in partnership with the sleep and wellness app Calm.

Ford Recalls 29,501 F-150 Lightning Trucks Over Suspension Defect Risk

The NHTSA is recalling more than 29,000 models of Ford's electric F-150 Lightning truck, but the problems reported have nothing to do with the electric powertrain. Suspension components are prone to failure, with the separation of the front control arms possibly resulting in a loss of steering control. According to the recall details provided by the NHTSA, the nut of the control arm's upper ball joint may have been insufficiently tightened, allowing the upper control arm to completely detach from the knuckle assembly, leading to a loss of steering control and, potentially, a crash. A total of 29,501 F-150 Lightnings from the 2024 and 2025 model years are included in the recall. Repair work involves replacing the nuts and tightening them to the correct torque. While this is a notable safety issue, this recall is a drop in the ocean compared to the recent recall of nearly 1.1 million vehicles announced on June 1. This recall was for rearview camera displays that can freeze or go completely blank, covering many popular Ford models such as the Mustang, Bronco F-Series, and Ranger, and Lincoln models such as the Corsair, Nautilus, and Navigator. So far, in 2025 alone, Ford has recalled vehicles for problems with transmission valve bodies that cause a loss of reverse gear, failing high-current fuses that can cut power to electric motors, missing cup plugs on 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engines that may lead to oil leaks, missing dashboard airbag warning labels, and loose or missing steering shaft bolts, to name only a few. In the beginning of the year, Ford's BlueCruise drew attention to itself when several Mustang Mach-Es were involved in fatal nighttime crashes while BlueCruise was engaged. This came fresh off the back of a September 2024 recall for more than 90,000 vehicles for intake valves on 2.7L and 3.0L Nano V6 engines that may break while driving, leading to engine failure and a loss of drive power.

Ford Recalls 1.1 Million Vehicles Over Faulty Rearview Camera

Ford (F, Financials) is recalling 1,075,299 vehicles in the United States due to a software malfunction that may freeze the rearview camera display, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The issue could distort the driver's view while reversing and increase the risk of a crash. The affected models span the 2021 to 2025 production years and include a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles such as the Bronco, F-150, Mustang, Edge, Expedition, Transit, Mach-E, Escape, Ranger, as well as Lincoln's Navigator, Nautilus, and Corsair. Ford has received one report of a minor crash involving property damage but said no injuries have been reported. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with F. To address the issue, Ford will issue a free software update to affected vehicles, either through a dealership visit or via an over-the-air update. The automaker plans to send initial notification letters to vehicle owners beginning June 16, with a follow-up letter confirming when the remedy is available, expected between July and September. Ford has assigned recall number 25S49 to the case. Owners seeking further information can call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 or visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website at which has listed the recall as number 25V-315. This marks the latest in a series of safety-related recalls for the Detroit automaker. Earlier this year, Ford recalled approximately 274,000 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles due to improperly installed front brake lines, which could reduce braking performance. In a separate safety development, Ford is also recalling 29,501 F-150 Lightning battery electric trucks from the 2024 and 2025 model years due to a potentially detached control arm that may cause a loss of steering. In November 2024, NHTSA fined Ford $165 million for delays in recalling vehicles with known rearview camera defects and for failing to comply with federal disclosure requirements. Regulators said Ford's failure to provide full information violated the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act, adding regulatory pressure to the company's recent quality control efforts.
