Component / system

Defect

Lucid USA, Inc. (Lucid) is recalling certain 2022-2026 Air vehicles equipped with an AD02 package and operating a software version from 2.8.0 through 2.8.16. The rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk / consequence

A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Lucid has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 4, 2026. Owners may contact Lucid at 1-888-995-8243. Lucid's number for this recall is SR-26-01-0.

Chronology of events

1. Nov 20, 2025

   On November 20, 2025, Lucid decided to issue a stop sale on Lucid Airs with an AD02 package because of a potential noncompliance with FMVSS 111 while Lucid continued its investigation. While Lucid was investigating the issue, Lucid's Digital organization proceeded to develop software mitigations to improve issues with the Lucid Air, including the rearview image display issues.

2. Dec 4, 2025

   On December 4, 2025, Lucid’s Product Safety Working Group (PSWG) met to discuss the rearview image display issue. On December 5, 2025, Lucid released an OTA software update (software version 2.8.17). In addition to other items, the software adjusted the ACU startup process for consistent video performance. Prior to its release, Lucid verified that this update resolved this rearview image display issue. Lucid issued instructions that the stop sale was lifted and vehicles may be sold only when they are updated to the latest release of 2.8.17. The PSWG continued to investigate the issues, including performing a deeper inquiry into the initially identified warranty claims. Upon further review, it was determined that there were only 4 confirmed warranty claims related to the issue. The work orders for these claims were created between late September and mid-October 2025. These vehicles were on software version 2.8.4. The PSWG referred this issue to Lucid’s Product Safety Executive Council (PSEC). On January 9, 2026, the PSEC determined that this blank rear view monitor screen containing a warning constitutes a non- compliance with FMVSS 111 and that a recall was required. At the time this Part 573 is filed, 9,186 Lucid Air customers had already updated their vehicle to the Remedy Version or greater. Lucid is releasing a software jump campaign in January 2026 for AD02-equipped vehicles running on a version of software below or equal to 2.8.0. The jump campaign prevents owners from installing an Affected Version and updates them directly to the Remedy Version, 2.8.17.
