What's wrong?
The High Voltage Coolant Heater on 2022-2023 Lucid Air vehicles warms coolant for the HVAC system. That heat is used for cabin warmth and for the windshield defroster, which needs warm air to clear fog or ice from the glass. When it works normally, the heater helps keep the windshield clear enough for the driver to see.
On affected vehicles, some heaters built before July 2022 have an internal delamination problem. Layers inside the heater separate, and the heater stops producing the heat the defroster needs. Lucid says loss of defrost capability creates a safety risk because the driver's view through the windshield can become obstructed.
Before the recall software update, there is no visual warning sign before a High Voltage Coolant Heater failure. Once it fails, the windshield defroster will stop producing warm air. Drivers will also lose cabin heat, which is the practical sign that the heater is no longer working.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2022 and 2023 model years, with both scope items tied to the high voltage coolant heater used in the defroster and HVAC system.

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 failed high voltage coolant heater leaves the windshield defroster without warm air. That reduces the driver's view and increases the risk of a crash. Before this recall software update, there is no visual warning for the failure, so loss of defrost or cabin heat needs prompt dealer attention. 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 that adds a driver warning for high voltage coolant heater failure.
- Ask Lucid to replace the high voltage coolant heater if it has failed, so the windshield defrost function is restored.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it, and reference recall number 24V011 when scheduling.
- Avoid driving with a windshield that will not defrost; use another vehicle until Lucid completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Lucid technician updates the vehicle software so it can identify a high voltage coolant heater failure and warn the driver. If the high voltage coolant heater has failed, Lucid replaces it. The recall repair, including parts and labor, is free. Lucid has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for this heater related repair before the recall notice. Ask Lucid customer service or the service desk how to submit repair invoices and payment documentation for review.
