Lucid Announces Recall of Over 27,000 Luxury Sedans Due to Fire Risk
Electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid is recalling more than 27,000 units of its flagship model, the Lucid Air sedan in the U.S., due to a potential fire risk caused by an overheating exterior lighting circuit. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued the recall notice on Friday and advised owners to park their vehicles outside until repairs are made. Lucid has already rolled out an over-the-air software update, with more than 20,719 affected cars receiving it as of now. This is Lucid's largest recall yet, surpassing its total vehicle deliveries in 2025 (15,841 units). The company had previously issued smaller recalls for issues like loss of drive power and rearview camera malfunctions. The recall could impact consumer confidence and raise concerns about product reliability. However, the availability of a software fix may mitigate some risks.
