A total of 27,185 units of the 2022-2026 Lucid Air have been recalled due to an issue with overcurrent protection, leading to overheating of the circuit and increasing the risk of a fire. As a result, owners of the Air have been asked to park their vehicles outside until the issue is resolved.According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall report, Lucid determined the recall population after finding out that the software logic for the low-voltage exterior lighting circuits may not provide enough overcurrent protection.Not only can this lead to circuit overheating, but it can also affect exterior lighting, thereby increasing the risk of reduced visibility and a potential crash.
