What's wrong?
The rearview camera display on 2022-2023 Lucid Air vehicles is part of the back-over prevention system. When the vehicle is in reverse, the camera view is supposed to appear on the cockpit display so the driver can see the area behind the car while backing up. That display is required for rear visibility compliance.
On affected Air vehicles, the issue is tied to Lucid software versions 2.0.15 through 2.0.50. The rearview image can fail to appear even though no hardware problem was found in the customer vehicles Lucid reviewed. Lucid did not confirm a single software cause from those vehicles, but vehicles updated to software version 2.0.52 or later did not show the same recurrence in that review.
Owners can notice the problem at the moment they shift into reverse. The rearview image does not appear on the right cockpit panel, or the display shows a warning telltale with the word "Unavailable."
Who's affected?
The scope is limited to the display-function software listed for both model years.

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?
A rearview camera image that fails to display in reverse reduces visibility behind the vehicle and increases the risk of injury or crash. If the image does not appear on the right cockpit panel, or the screen shows a warning telltale with "Unavailable," use mirrors, look behind the vehicle, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Lucid dealer.
