What's wrong?
The front tow eye bracket on the 2022 Lucid Air is the attachment point used during vehicle recovery. A tow operator threads the tow eye into that bracket, then uses it to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed or move it during a recovery. The bracket is attached to the front subframe, which is a structural frame piece that supports the front of the vehicle.
On affected Air vehicles, the bracket was secured with adhesive that did not provide enough bond strength on certain subframes. During winching or towing, that bond can let go and the bracket can separate from the subframe. Lucid traced the issue to subframes made by Ethos, while Martinrea subframes were confirmed to meet the design strength specification.
There is no warning sign before failure. The bracket can detach during vehicle recovery without a prior noise, light, or handling change, so the problem is found through inspection and the repair adds two rivets to secure the bracket.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific sedan.
What's the safety risk?
If the tow eye bracket detaches during towing, the vehicle can separate from the tow truck and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so use caution if the vehicle needs to be towed and tell the service center this recall applies. Repair will be free at any franchised Lucid dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Lucid Air is included in this recall.
- Check your mail or Lucid account for the owner letter mailed November 14, 2022.
- Contact Lucid customer service at 1-888-995-8243 to ask when the free tow-eye-bracket inspection and rivet repair opens.

- Reference recall number 22V727 and Lucid recall SR-22-02-0 when you call.
What happens at the repair
Because Lucid lists the remedy as still under development, do not assume the final service visit can be scheduled until Lucid opens it. Once available, a Lucid technician will inspect the front subframe and add rivets to the tow eye bracket where needed. The final dealer repair will be free once available. If you paid for a related tow eye bracket or subframe repair during Lucid's reimbursement period, contact Lucid Customer Care at 1-888-995-8243 to ask about reimbursement for documented costs.
