- The defect
- Lucid USA, Inc. (Lucid) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Air vehicles. When a hardware communication fault is detected, the High Voltage Interlock (HVIL) software could disconnect the high voltage contactors while the vehicle is in motion, causing a loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Lucid released an over-the-air (OTA) software update June 24, 2024, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 5, 2024. Owners may contact Lucid customer service at 1-888-995-8243. Lucid's number for this recall is SR-24-03-0.
- 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 5,251 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 75% 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 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Lucid vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 3 times before this, most recently in July 2023 as 23V523000. 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, 37 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 earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2022, 1 year before this filing.
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), 24V495000 (visibility).
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 1, 2024 as campaign 24V497000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
