What this recall means for you

Certain 2022-2024 Lucid Air vehicles may have a high voltage coolant heater that fails to defrost the windshield. When the windshield cannot be cleared of frost, fog or ice, the driver's view is reduced, which increases the risk of a crash.

Lucid will send an over-the-air software update that detects a high voltage coolant heater failure and warns the driver. Any failed high voltage coolant heater will be replaced. Both the software update and the repair are free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 5, 2024.

If you own an affected vehicle, check your VIN for open recalls and contact Lucid customer service at 1-888-995-8243, referencing recall number SR-24-04-0. This recall expands on an earlier recall, 24V-011.
