Lucid Recalls Nearly 27,000 Air EVs for Lighting Glitch, OTA Update Rolls Out

Lucid Group is recalling approximately 27,000 Air electric sedans in the U.S. to address a potential electrical issue affecting the lighting system. The recall covers nearly all Air units delivered in the country so far. The problem stems from a software-related fault that could cause certain exterior lights to malfunction, increasing the risk of an accident.

Owners don’t need to visit a service center for this fix. Lucid has already started pushing an over-the-air (OTA) software update to affected vehicles, which will correct the issue without requiring physical intervention. The company has stated that no related injuries or crashes have been reported, and the update is being distributed as a precautionary measure.

This recall highlights the growing reliance on software-based solutions in electric vehicles, allowing manufacturers to address safety concerns swiftly and remotely. Lucid’s proactive approach aims to maintain customer trust while ensuring the safety and reliability of its luxury EVs. The update is expected to reach all affected vehicles in the coming weeks.
