Lucid Recalls Over 27,000 Air Sedans Over Fire Risk

Lucid Group said it is recalling more than 27,000 Air sedans because of a fire risk, according to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The recall covers a significant share of the Air sedans Lucid has delivered since the model launched. Recalls tied to fire risk carry extra weight for electric vehicle makers because they touch directly on battery safety, the area most scrutinized by regulators and buyers. Lucid has staked its reputation on the Air as a premium, technically superior alternative to Tesla's sedans, so a safety-driven recall of this size lands at a sensitive moment for the brand. It remains unclear how many of the affected cars have already experienced fire incidents, or what specific remedy Lucid will offer owners. The company has not detailed repair costs or a timeline for completing the recall.
