Lucid recalls 27,185 Air sedans over fire riskLucid Group is recalling 27,185 Air sedans in the United States after regulators warned that a faulty exterior lighting circuit poses an overheating and fire hazard, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Friday.Beyond fire, the NHTSA warned that the same circuit fault could knock out a vehicle's exterior lights, potentially raising the likelihood of a collision. NHTSA urged vehicle owners to keep their cars parked outdoors and clear of buildings while awaiting a remedy.According to the NHTSA, Lucid has pushed out an over-the-air software patch, and the agency has confirmed that 20,719 affected vehicles have already downloaded it.AdvertisementAdvertisementAt 27,185 units, the action surpasses every previous Lucid recall and even exceeds the 15,841 vehicles the company managed to deliver across all of 2025, according to Reuters. Earlier this year, Lucid recalled more than 10,000 vehicles in January over rearview camera image issues, and in May recalled 2,039 vehicles due to loss of drive power, according to Reuters.The recall comes during a turbulent stretch for the luxury electric vehicle maker. Lucid announced plans to cut approximately 18% of its U.S. workforce in June as new CEO Silvio Napoli works to reduce costs, the second major round of layoffs this year. The company also eliminated a second production shift at its Arizona factory and did away with the chief operating officer role.Earlier in the year, a second-row seat defect halted Gravity SUV shipments and caused more than $200 million in revenue impairment during the first quarter, forcing Lucid to withdraw its full-year production guidance. Lucid stock tumbled as much as 40% in July after a report — which Lucid called false — alleged the company was exploring bankruptcy or a move to go private.Separately, Lucid on Friday announced three leadership appointments, naming Shawn Mirabal as President of North America Commercial, Mike Molino as Vice President of Finance, and Angela Zepeda as Vice President of Global Marketing, the company said.
