Default Every 2022 Lucid Air recalled due to wiring issues

'Every' Lucid still only means 1,117 cars



Despite already struggling to meet production targets, luxury EV maker Lucid has now issued a recall for the Air due to potential issues stemming from the car's wiring harness.

In a recent notice posted on the NHTSA website spotted by Lucid Insiders, a summary for the recall says unsecured wires on 2022 Air vehicles could cause the car's displays to turn off. And because the Air's displays contain critical information including speed, range and warning indicators, this would present a hazard in violation of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

The notice states that the potential number of affected vehicles is 1,117. That means with Lucid having delivered less than 1,000 cars to date, the recall appears to cover all 2022 Air Dream Edition and Grand Touring models. For any potentially affected owners, you can get more info by calling Lucid's customer service at 1-888-995-8243 and mentioning recall number NCR-22-01-0.

Official notification letters are slated to be sent out June 20. Meanwhile, for cars that are subject to the recall, the NHTSA says Lucid dealers will be responsible for inspecting vehicles and addressing the issue as needed, free of charge.

Going forward, Lucid Insiders claims the company has already started making adjustments to the glass canopy on new vehicles to prevent any issues with unsecured wires. However, perhaps the bigger concern is that this recall comes just a few months after Lucid recalled 200 cars for having front strut dampers that may have been improperly installed by a supplier. And with reservations for the Air now exceeding 25,000 cars, ironing out any issues will be hugely important if Lucid hopes to deliver those vehicles in a timely manner.

At least we finally get real production numbers if you can call them that. I continue to believe every Lucid is essentially being built by hand.

I still haven't seen even one on the road. I guess the three out there are being fixed LOL. I've already seen quite a few Rivian's. Lucid is definitely off to a very bad start...

I really don’t get why anyone would drop $150k on this thing?!

Even if you got millions to burn.

Plenty of other great EV choices. This thing doesn’t even have Apple Carplay lol

I still think it's a cool car, but I definitely wouldn't

seen 1 lucid in the wild out here in CA so far. it's good to think the car is hand built, for that price point!

i also see lots of rivians daily but that's bc i'm located near irvine where they are headquartered.

The Air is the new Buick Dad's car EV. There is one running around here. Waaaaay to conservative. Great paint but boring... Needs to be edgy!
I saw another MBZ EQS charging the other day; another bland car. This Benz just doesn't do it for me at all...
Each to their own, of course.

I've probably seen over 15 of them, including two when I was coming back from SoCal charging at Harris Ranch. A friend of our families daughter works for Rivian and has one (the R1T)...it's a really cool truck. The R1S SUV also looks cool, but they are just way overpriced

I hate the EQS, but I really like the looks of the Air

Well I've seen at least 5 EQS's in the last two weeks, and ZERO Lucid's. At least they are delivering. That said, the Lucid is a great looking car IMO

imho, EQS has a difference presence than an s-class. both are dominating but in different ways. lots of those popping up out here as well.

lucid did look pretty large too, but i'm surrounded by full size trucks and SUVs so it's the daily norm.

except it wasn’t a recall for safety. NHTSA wasn’t involved.

It was just a slight jerk with the cruise control experienced in 1 car under certain parameters.

it was an overreaction but gave them more sales because Lexus at the time accept nothing but perfection.

The NHTSA is only involved here in that Lucid notified them of the recall. This was not an action that was forced by the NHTSA.

The point is, this isn’t really a big deal.

‘Lexus wasn’t a startup though. Toyota Motor Corp who has/had extensive experience recalling cars.

I don’t think this recall is that big a deal. But, goes to show ya hard hard it is to build cars. This is second recall for this vehicle
