Lucid Recalls Over 27,000 Air Sedans in US on Fire Risk
Lucid Group is recalling 27,185 of its Air luxury sedans in the United States due to a potential fire hazard, according to a safety announcement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The electric vehicle manufacturer has issued an over-the-air software update to remedy the issue.
Recall Details
The recall was prompted by a fault in an exterior lighting circuit that could overheat, creating an increased risk of fire, the NHTSA stated on Friday. The issue affects a significant portion of the vehicles produced by the luxury EV maker.
As a precautionary measure, the NHTSA has advised owners of the affected vehicles to park them outdoors and away from any structures until the necessary fix has been applied to their car. This guidance is standard in cases involving potential fire risks.
AdResolution via Software Update
Lucid has already deployed an over-the-air (OTA) software update to resolve the issue, according to the NHTSA filing. This method allows the company to update the vehicle's software remotely, addressing the safety concern without requiring owners to visit a service center for a physical repair, a common capability for modern electric vehicles.
