22V090000 · Suspension:Front

Reported: 2022-02-16 (February 16, 2022)

Lucid Motors, Inc. (Lucid Motors) is recalling certain 2022 Air vehicles. The snap ring below the front strut damper may fail, resulting in a sudden drop in ride height or front brake line damage.

Consequence: A sudden drop in ride height while driving can cause a loss of vehicle control. In addition, brake line damage can result in a loss of brake function. Either of these scenarios increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Lucid Studios or satellite service centers will inspect and replace the front strut dampers, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 24, 2022. Owners may contact Lucid Motors customer service at 1-888-995-8243. Lucid Motors number for this recall is N01.
