BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Lucid USA, Inc. (Lucid) is recalling certain 2022-2026 Air vehicles equipped with an AD02 package and operating a software version from 2.8.0 through 2.8.16. The rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
- What it can cause
- A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing 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 March 4, 2026. Owners may contact Lucid at 1-888-995-8243. Lucid's number for this recall is SR-26-01-0.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
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 10,816 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 80% 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 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Lucid vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 2 times before this, most recently in October 2025 as 25V670000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 70 complaints with NHTSA, 62 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2022, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 18 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V540000 (electrical system), 26V309000 (electrical system), 26V193000 (power train), 25V670000 (back over prevention).
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.
