SUSPENSION:FRONT
Potential Number of Units Affected: 203
Problem Description:
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 are expected to be mailed February 24, 2022. Owners may contact Lucid Motors customer service at
1-888-995-8243. Lucid Motors number for this recall is N01.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY
1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
Please ensure the following requirements are met:
Your company's program shall include a plan for reimbursing an owner or purchaser who incurred costs to obtain a remedy for
the problem addressed by the recall within a reasonable time in advance of your company's notification of owners, purchasers
and dealers, in accordance with § 573.13. Your company's plan may incorporate by reference a general reimbursement plan it
previously submitted to NHTSA, together with information specific to the individual recall. Information required by § 573.13
that is not in a general reimbursement plan shall be submitted in your company's report to NHTSA. If your company submits one
or more general reimbursement plans, your company shall update each plan every two years (§ 573.13). If the vehicles are new
and would be covered under the manufacturer's warranty program, please state that in the remedy section of your filing.
AMENDED 573 REQUIRED.
NHTSA has received Lucid's proposed owner notification letter and envelope, and approved them for distribution.
Please be reminded of the following requirements:
Copies of all notices, bulletins, dealer notifications, and other communications that relate to this recall, including a copy
of the final owner notification letter and any subsequent owner follow-up notification letter(s), are required to be
submitted to this office no later than 5 days after they are originally sent (if they are sent to more than one manufacturer,
distributor, dealer, or purchaser/owner).
Please be reminded that under 49 U.S.C. § 30112(a)(3), it is illegal for a manufacturer, to sell, offer for sale, import, or
introduce or deliver into interstate commerce, a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment that contains a safety
defect once the manufacturer has notified NHTSA about that safety defect. This prohibition does not apply once the
motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment has been remedied according to the manufacturer's instructions.
As stated in Part 573.7, submission of the first of eight consecutive quarterly status reports is required within one month
after the close of the calendar quarter in which notification to purchasers occurs. Therefore, the first quarterly report will
be due on, or before, 30 days after the close of the calendar quarter.
Lucid Motors, Inc.'s contact for this recall will be Emily C. Smith who may be reached by email at emily.c.smith@dot.gov. We look
forward to working with you.
