Defect investigations

High Voltage Coolant Heaters may fail to defrost windshieldOpened April 3, 2024, still open

In a Part 573 Report dated July 27, 2023, Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (JLR) notified the federal safety agency of a safety-related defect in 2021-2022 Jaguar I-Pace vehicles. This filing was assigned Recall No. 23V‑518. JLR noted that the subject vehicles are equipped with High Voltage Coolant Heaters (HVCH), supplied by Webasto Group (Webasto), that can develop cracking and delamination of the heating element, leading to an inability to defrost the front windshield, which may increase the risk of a crash. In a Part 573 Report dated January 11, 2024, Lucid USA, Inc. (Lucid) notified the federal safety agency of a safety-related defect in 2022-2023 Lucid Air vehicles. This filing was assigned Recall No. 24V‑011. Lucid noted the subject vehicles are equipped with HVCH, supplied by Webasto, that can delaminate, leading to an inability to defrost the front windshield, which may increase the risk of a crash. The purpose of this Audit Query (AQ) is to: 1. Obtain a complete list of purchasers and the quantities for which the same or similar HVCH were supplied; 2. Obtain copies of all written communications initiated by Webasto and sent to its purchasers regarding the subject equipment; and 3. Request Webasto, per 49 CFR 573.3(f), submit a requisite Part 573 Recall Report for defective HVCH installed into motor vehicles of multiple vehicle manufacturers.

High Voltage Coolant Heater DelaminationOpened February 8, 2024, closed May 11, 2026

On January 11, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received Recall 24V‑011 that identified a safety defect in the High Voltage Coolant Heater (HVCH) installed in certain Model Year (MY) 2022-2023 Lucid Air vehicles manufactured prior to July 2022. The HVCH may experience an internal delamination failure, which poses a risk of the vehicle losing defrost capability. If the HVCH fails, coolant cannot be heated, and the windshield cannot be defrosted. Loss of adequate windshield defrost capability could lead to restricted driver field of vision and an increased risk of a crash. The remedy outlined in this recall is a software update that identifies any HVCH failure when it occurs, which then provides a notification on the glass cockpit panel about the lack of defrost capability and advises the owner to contact Lucid for an HVCH replacement.Lucid will then replace the HVCH at no cost to the owner. On July 27th, 2023, Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC filed Recall 23V‑518 which affects Jaguar Land Rover vehicles equipped with the same HVCH as the Lucid Vehicles that were supplied by the same supplier (Webasto AG). Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC’s remedy is to replace the HVCH in the affected vehicles. ODI was concerned that by only providing a notification to drivers that their windshield defroster is not working, Lucid puts the driver in a situation where they could experience the failure during the same drive cycle as they receive the notification. In this scenario, the driver is not aware they have a failed HVCH until they are operating the vehicle and need the defrost function prior to being able to have the vehicle serviced. ODI opened Recall Query (RQ24002) on February 8, 2024, to assess the adequacy, including the safety consequences, of the remedy described in Lucid’s Recall 24V‑011. ODI received Lucid’s Information Request Response (IRR) to this investigation on April 29, 2024. To date, ODI has not received any complaints regarding the recall remedy outlined in 24V‑011. In reviewing Lucid’s IRR data, the percentage of failures after the recall remedy has been implemented on the vehicles is 0.14%. Of the failures identified by Lucid, none of them described a loss of visibility out the front window. There was one claim of property damage allegedly due to the recall remedy. ODI's review of information related to this claim does not indicate a need for further action under this investigation. During the investigation, Lucid clarified that upon the driver receiving the notification their defrost was unavailable, the dashboard message alerts them to use caution if their view is obstructed and to contact customer care. Upon contacting customer care regarding the dashboard message, a Lucid service member will create a service appointment to have the HVCH replaced. In instances where the consumer had expressed they do not feel comfortable taking the vehicle into the service center themselves, the service center has offered for the vehicle to be towed. ODI also met with Jaguar Land Rover on November 20, 2024 to review their recall (23V‑518) and their reasoning for replacing the HVCH. Jaguar Land Rover informed ODI that their affected vehicle systems were incapable of detecting an HVCH failure and are unable to warn the driver that the HVCH was starting to fail.This differs from Lucid, which was able to implement a software update to detect and identify a failure to the driver. After analyzing the data submitted in Lucid’s IRR response and reviewing Jaguar Land Rover’s reasoning for its recall remedy, ODI is closing RQ24002 without action. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

I want to inform you about a potential safety issue regarding the Lucid Air. A few weeks ago I was in an accident in a parking garage and I believe this was due to a malfunction in the car. The reason I am writing this letter is in hopes of preventing future accidents. In this case, luckily no one was hurt but considering the extend of the damage, that could have easily not been the case. I was coming down the ramp of a parking garage and making the 180 degree turn common in parking garages. As I was making the turn in the last 90 degrees, the car locked up and accelerated at a very rapid rate. My car and the car I hit were totaled with even extensive damage to another car also. A very high speed would have been required to cause so much damage. Please see attached videos and photos. Of note, one time before my Lucid completely shut off while driving on our local loop requiring to be towed to Lucid to be fixed. Let’s see I can’t scroll that watch I can’t get down here blue color, BMW, famous color. That’s literally the one but the red for this. T We never received a full understanding of what happened but were told a team from the main Lucid office had to come to repairs the battery mechanism. I understand that I am the one that could have hit the accelerator but I believe I was pressing the brake with no response. If I did hit the accelerator, how could I have generated so much speed in such a short distance. The car was also set for high level regenerative braking. The car log should be able to tell if the accelerator or brake was pushed. As I said earlier, I hope an investigation can be done to help prevent any future accidents.

On July 21, I was stopped behind another vehicle. Using 1 pedal driving with no roll feature. There was front camera error message as well as traction control warning light on. My car started to move forward on it's own so I inadvertently hit the acceleration initially before I stepped on the brakes - car did not stop initially and I rear ended the stopped car in front of me. Lucid kept my car for a week reviewing the logs and concluded there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and the incident was driver caused. I have never stomped on the go pedal from a standing stop before. The car moved forward on it's own before I inadvertently stepped on the accelerator pedal.

This vehicle is designed for two 245/35r21 (HLC/99Y) tires on the front wheels, and two 265/35r21 (HLC/103Y) tires in the rear wheels. When I took delivery of the car from the manufacturer, it was incorrectly outfitted with three 245s and one 265; one of the rear wheels had an incorrect tire installed. Attempts to resolve the issue with Lucid have been fruitless, and I am concerned that it may be a widespread issue. ##Timeline##: [2022-09-26] -- I accepted delivery of my 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring [2022-11-26] -- I discovered that one of my rear tires (I don't recall which side) was incorrectly sized [2022-11-27] -- I reached out to Lucid customer care/warranty, and received a reply the following morning [2022-12-15] -- While taking a left turn in wet and cold conditions, the car briefly lost traction and ran over a curb, resulting in damage to the vehicle that would take several months to repair. There were no injuries nor third-party property damage. (I'm not sure if this loss of traction was related to the tire mismatch) [2023-02-09] -- I contacted Lucid again about the OEM tire mismatch issue.

245/35/R21, tire specifically made for Lucid. Small bump in road caused large bubble in sidewall. Lucid forums full of complaints about this. No replacement tires available in the US and no alternate available due to load rating. No promised time for more to be available. I had to borrow a loaner tire from lucid. I learned that Perilli is redesigning this tire with thicker sidewalls because of all the problems. No tire available until the new ones are available. Why wasn't this tire recalled for safety reasons? A bubble on a front tire is dangerous and the car should not be driven. Why is this not covered by a warrant replacement? A customer should not have to pay to replace a defective tire at the very least, they should prorate the cost based on miles driven. I'm filling this report because the situation is dangerous. If no replacement is available from Perilli or an alternate, owners are likely to continue driving with tire bubbles causing risk to themselves and others

We experienced our first tire blow out in July of 2023 while on a remote hwy in Oregon. We were travelling on a smooth wide road and all of sudden, there was a loud bang. We pulled over to find that there was approximately a 4" gash on the side wall of the front passenger tire. As Lucid does not equip their vehicles with spare tires, we required a long distance tow and tire replacement. Our mileage on the vehicle, at the time was approx 3,500. Last night, Sept 29th, 2023, the vehicle's tire pressure gauge lit up and advised that tire pressure was low on the right front tire. This is the same tire that was replaced in July. The vehicle is currently at odometer reading of 6,057. It showed pressure of 37 psi when the other tires were set to 38 psi. Our plan was to take it in this morning for a tire pressure check but before we could make it home, the tire pressure reading came on again showing 37 on the front passenger tire and 0 on the on the back passenger tire suddenly. We had to leave the vehicle parked because it was after hours and we it needed to be towed but we wanted to be certain that it was towed to a tire repair center that would have the tire in stock. When we took the car in today, we were informed there was an air bulge on the front passenger tire as well and that both passenger tires required replacement. The tire shop informed us this is a repeated common problem with Lucids, especially those with the 21" profile tires. After some online research, we realize other Lucid owners are having to replace their tires frequently because they are forming air bubbles that later burst and cause flat tires. Not only is this dangerous, were the vehicle to be travelling at high speeds, but Lucid will not own the problem. We believe Lucid is well aware of this matter but refuses to acknowledge it or claim responsibility for it. It seems incredulous that 3 tires have needed to be replaced on this vehicle in 1 year and just over 6,000 miles.

2022 Lucid Air suffered a total loss of power without any warning at approximately 10 PM on July 29, 2023, while driving 65+ mph on the Jersey Turnpike. The car’s dashboard suddenly flashed “System Failure” and immediately started to decelerate. I had approximately 30 seconds to weave across 2 lanes of high speed traffic as the car steadily lost speed and fortunately there was a shoulder just wide enough for the car before it totally stopped forward progress. We could not exit the car as the passenger side was up against a 3 foot cement barrier that separated the 3 car lanes from 3 truck lanes and the driver’s side was just a foot from the inside lane of cars speeding by at over 65+ mph, I called Lucid Customer Service 3 times over the next 30 minutes and received an automated response each time that they would call back when a rep was available. My wife called 911 and the operator said she would send the state police and a tow truck. It took approximately 40 minutes for the state police and tow truck to arrive. The car’s hazard lights worked for approximately 20 minutes and then stopped leaving us in total darkness for the next 20 minutes as cars whizzed by on the turnpike at high speeds just a foot or two away. The state policeman told us that it was a very dangerous situation that we all had to exit asap. Just then, the car suddenly came back to life. The tow truck driver was able to drive it up a ramp and onto the flat bed of his truck. We climbed into his cab and he drove us for about 10 minutes until he could exit the turnpike and dropped us and the car off into a shopping center parking lot. At this point, the Lucid service center called me back. We explained what happened. He told us to leave the car there with the keys inside and the company would pick it up and take it to its nearest service center. We then called an Uber and went to a nearby hotel. I cannot comment any further on what happened after this point in time.

My lucid air’s emergency brakes have misjudged a situation and caused the car to lock its brakes for 3 seconds, making it inoperable. The first time happened on the interstate and the vehicle behind me had to go into the median to keep from rear ending me. I was completely stopped on a busy interstate. The second time, this morning, I was maneuvering around a vehicle into an open lane and the emergency brakes locked up. It had been raining and this caused the Lucid to slide directly into the vehicle I was maneuvering around. I was completely powerless to stop it. I have my emergency brakes set to lucids recommended setting - not it’s most sensitive setting. This is incredibly dangerous. The car does not consider it’s speed or road conditions before locking the brakes, taking the ability to maneuver away from the driver.

The car would accelerate spontaneously both from a stopped position as well as while moving. The brake pedal was able to slow and stop the car. The car is set to not roll when stopped and has regenerative braking when the accelerator is released, the exact opposite of what is supposed to occur is what happened. The company was contacted.
