What's wrong?
The high voltage coolant heater in the 2022-2024 Lucid Air warms coolant for the cabin heat and windshield defroster. That heat matters when the windshield needs warm air to clear fog, frost, or ice. The defroster depends on the heater working before the driver asks for heat at the glass.
The recalled heater uses an older laminated design. In affected units, the internal layers have an unreasonable risk of delamination, which means the layers separate and the heater stops doing its job. When the heater fails, the windshield defroster does not produce warm air, and the cabin loses heat.
Before the software remedy, there was no visual warning sign before this heater failure. The driver would notice that the windshield defroster no longer blows warm air and that cabin heat is gone. With the remedy software installed, the vehicle gives a warning that defrost is unavailable after the heater fails, even before the driver turns on cabin heat or defrost.
Who's affected?
The shared part is Lucid's high-voltage coolant heater, part P11-M20101-01, which supports defroster and HVAC operation.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included in this recall.
What's the safety risk?
A high voltage coolant heater failure leaves the windshield defroster without warm air, reducing the driver's view and increasing the risk of a crash. Loss of cabin heat is another sign of the failure. If the windshield will not clear, pull over when safe and arrange service. Repair is free at any franchised Lucid dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2024 Lucid Air is included in this recall.
- Contact Lucid service to confirm the over-the-air software update is installed and schedule any needed high-voltage coolant-heater replacement.
- Reference recall number 24V495 when you call, and ask whether your vehicle needs the free heater replacement after the software check.
- Install the Lucid software update before relying on the vehicle in cold or wet conditions, since the update detects heater failure and warns you about reduced windshield defrosting.
- Avoid driving when the windshield cannot stay clear. Stop in a safe place and contact Lucid service before continuing.
What happens at the repair
Lucid has released an over-the-air software update that identifies a high voltage coolant heater failure and warns the driver. If the heater has failed, a Lucid technician replaces the high voltage coolant heater. The software update, replacement parts, and labor are free under the recall. If you paid out of pocket to remedy this defect from initial vehicle delivery through 10 days after Lucid mailed the owner notification letter, contact Lucid Customer Care to request reimbursement under the recall program.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 24V495?
Recall 24V495 covers 7,506 2022-2024 Lucid Air vehicles with a high voltage coolant heater that can fail to defrost the windshield. Reduced driver visibility increases crash risk. Lucid released an over-the-air software update to identify the failure, and failed heaters will be replaced for free.
What should I do if my 2022-2024 Lucid Air is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 24V495. If it is, make sure the over-the-air software update is installed, and contact a Lucid service center if the vehicle shows a high voltage coolant heater warning. Reference recall SR-24-04-0 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to fix the defect at no cost, and Lucid says the software update and any needed high voltage coolant heater replacement are free. Owner letters were mailed August 5, 2024.
