Lucid Group, Inc. is conducting its largest-ever recall, affecting 27,185 of its Air luxury sedans in the U.S. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a safety warning on August 28, 2026, citing an exterior lighting circuit that could overheat and increase fire risk. Owners have been instructed to park affected vehicles outdoors and away from structures until a remedy is implemented.
The overheating circuit also presents a risk of exterior lighting failure, potentially increasing the likelihood of a crash. Lucid has already released a free over-the-air software update. As of the announcement, 20,719 of the affected vehicles had received this update, indicating a significant portion of the fleet has been addressed.
This recall surpasses the total number of vehicles Lucid delivered in 2025, when 15,841 units were handed over. It follows a May 2026 recall of 2,039 vehicles due to lost drive power and a January 2026 recall concerning rearview camera malfunctions affecting over 10,000 vehicles.
