Lucid Motors is recalling certain 2022 Lucid Air vehicles due to a failing snap ring in the front strut damper. This defect may result in sudden loss of ride height or brake line damage, increasing the risk of a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle defect (suspension and brake system failure) with serious potential consequences (loss of vehicle control and brake failure). However, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the source describes the harm as theoretical. Per the rubric, severity is capped at High (3) when no incidents are reported.

Plain-English summary

Lucid Motors, Inc. is recalling certain 2022 Lucid Air vehicles. The snap ring below the front strut damper may fail, which could result in either a sudden drop in ride height or damage to the front brake line.

A sudden drop in ride height while driving can cause a loss of vehicle control. Damage to the brake line can result in a loss of brake function. Either scenario significantly increases the risk of a crash.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact Lucid Motors customer service at 1-888-995-8243 to schedule service. Lucid Motors will inspect and replace the front strut dampers at authorized service centers, free of charge.
