Anyone else got these email that they need replace the NFC Nodes in your gravity for future OTA updates? I am assuming this might have to do with Apple key?

We are reaching out because our records indicate that your Lucid Gravity is affected by an important service campaign involving the replacement of one or more NFC (Near Field Communication) nodes.

These NFC nodes play a critical role in supporting future Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates and vehicle features. As we continue to enhance the ownership experience through new OTA-delivered functionality, it is important that all NFC nodes on your vehicle are operating correctly. Future software releases will depend on these systems functioning as designed, and vehicles with affected NFC nodes may not be able to fully support certain upcoming features.

Through vehicle diagnostics and engineering data, we have confirmed that your vehicle contains NFC nodes that require replacement. While you may not currently notice any issues, completing this campaign now will help ensure your vehicle is fully prepared for future software updates and feature enhancements.

Our service team will perform this replacement at no cost to you. We encourage you to schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience to avoid any impact on future OTA functionality.
 
I also have a Gravity Dream Edition and I did NOT receive this email. My service guy did do a quick check of all the NFC nodes when he was here a couple of weeks ago to make sure the card keys work properly. He didn't mention anything about replacing them.

all my cards work at the NFC points too, so I am not aware of anything not working tbh. But says this is for future things?
 
they called me back and this will be done via mobile service in september ...
 
I wonder if it's a targeted email for people with a certain problem/build batch/etc. Something wrong with that might also explain people's persistent key problems.
 
I got the email as well for the Gravity GT. Unfortunately can’t get it fixed for a few months.
 
I have to say, since the last couple of updates, I can't remember when the last time was I had a key issue. but yeah who knows what their logs show ...

nobody else got this email? :rolleyes:

Dream Edition here also, but no email.
December delivery. When was yours?
 
Dream Edition, June 2025 delivery. No email. Dropped off Thursday because the window wouldn't close, so I imagine they'll verify this when in service.
 
GGT here; March delivery
no email like that received....yet

and oh BTW...TY for elucidating what the heck NFC stands for
 
I DID receive the email. Lucky me. GDE with Sep'25 delivery. I've tried contacting HOU service multiple times per the email instructions but no answers and no callback so far.

I have my mobile visit on 9/17 .. will report back what the guy says ..
 
yeah nothing came out of this, mobile guy said everything is fine ... so not sure why I got this email in the first place.
he also measured the weld on the rear seats and told me I am part of the recall and need rear seats. this was already replaced last week at the beverly hills location, they had the car 3 days.

one other thing they told me is that I will get new window actuators on all 4 windows .. mobile visit in 3 weeks. also he said they would replace the trim piece above the window because you can see it scratched when you close the door and the window goes up too early. pretty happy with everything I have to say.

they got me a x7 m60 rental for the 3 days.

They replaced your rear seat with another bad rear seat???

no, sorry if I wrote this misleading. they replaced the rear seat as part of this recall ... I never had issues to be honest but I mean its part of a safety recall is my understanding.

I can confirm though that the new 60 seat part is way quieter the motor.

Interesting, I wonder if it is a design change or just heavy lube.
