What's wrong?
The rear drive unit subframe wiring harness on the 2024-2025 Lucid Air is the electrical bundle that connects the vehicle to the rear drive unit, the motor assembly that moves the rear wheels. It is supposed to have enough length to move with the subframe without pulling on the connector.
On affected Air Pure rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the harness was built shorter than the original design. That shorter length puts strain on the connector for the rear drive unit. The connection can drop in and out, or disconnect completely, causing reduced power or loss of power from the rear drive unit. Because these vehicles have a single drive unit, complete rear drive unit power loss means the vehicle loses motive power. Power steering, power brakes, displays, and signals are not affected.
Owners can see Drive System Warning, Drive System Fault, Battery System Fault, Driving Power Reduced, Brake System Fault, Regenerative Braking Temporarily Reduced, or Automatic Vehicle Hold Fault messages. These warnings can appear before or at the same time as power loss.
