What's wrong?
The contactor in a 2022-2023 Lucid Air is an electrically activated switch inside the propulsion electrical system. At startup, it closes so high-voltage energy can move to and from the drive units that power the wheels. At shutdown, it opens to isolate that energy.
On affected Air vehicles, spring force inside the contactor can overcome the magnetic force that is supposed to keep the switch closed. When that happens while driving, the contactor opens unexpectedly and cuts power to the electric motors. Lucid identified at-risk contactors by a double-dip current signature during closing, a pattern that points to this spring force problem.
There is no warning sign before failure. If an unexpected opening occurs, the driver receives system-fault and reduced-driving-power messages after power is cut. The vehicle displays, power steering, and power brakes continue to work, and the vehicle can coast.
Who's affected?
Covers the 2022 and 2023 Air with the same electric propulsion system contactor.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included.
What's the safety risk?
A high voltage contactor can open without advance warning, shutting down the electric motors. That loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. If the fault occurs, the vehicle reports a system fault and reduced driving power, while displays, power steering, and power brakes keep working. Schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Lucid dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Lucid Air is included in this recall.
- Contact a Lucid Service Center to schedule the free software update and contactor-switch replacement that fixes the loss-of-drive-power risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Lucid mailed one, and reference recall number 23V110 when you call.
- Drive with caution until the repair is complete. If the vehicle loses drive power, steer to a safe location and call Lucid customer service at 1-888-995-8243.
