ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Lucid USA, Inc. (Lucid) is recalling certain 2022-2026 Air vehicles. The exterior lighting circuit may have insufficient overcurrent protection, allowing the circuit to overheat.
- What it can cause
- An overheated circuit increases the risk of a fire. A loss of the center brake light or front lights can also decrease visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised to park their vehicle outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed. Lucid has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 16, 2026. Owners may contact Lucid at 1-888-995-8243. Lucid's number for this recall is SR-26-06-0.
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 27,185 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% 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 electrical system 6 times before this, most recently in May 2026 as 26V309000. 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, 68 of them before this campaign was filed. 18 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, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 18 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V309000 (electrical system), 26V193000 (power train), 26V017000 (back over prevention), 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.
Filed by Lucid USA, Inc. with NHTSA on August 20, 2026 as campaign 26V540000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
