ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Lucid USA, Inc. (Lucid) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Air vehicles. Software versions 2.0.64 and older may not respond properly to an inverter power module failure, which can result in a loss of drive power without warning.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power without warning increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Lucid has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 25, 2023. Owners may contact Lucid customer service at 1-888-995-8243. Lucid's number for this recall is SR-23-04-0.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner. This one is fixed by a software update rather than a workshop visit.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 778 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Lucid vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 2 times before this, most recently in February 2023 as 23V110000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 47 complaints with NHTSA, 21 of them before this campaign was filed. 14 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V540000 (electrical system), 26V017000 (back over prevention), 25V670000 (back over prevention), 24V497000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Lucid USA, Inc. with NHTSA on July 27, 2023 as campaign 23V523000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
