What's wrong?
The front seat backrest cover on the 2026 Lucid Gravity is the fitted cover over the seat back, including the area where the seat-mounted side air bag deploys. In normal operation, that cover has to match the driver or passenger seat so the air bag can break through the correct area during a crash.
On affected vehicles, some front seat backrest covers were mislabeled left or right during seat cover manufacturing. That allowed a seat to be assembled with the incorrect cover for its side of the vehicle. If the side air bag deploys during a crash, the wrong cover can prevent it from deploying correctly, which increases the risk of injury.
There is no warning sign before failure. The seat can appear normal to an owner, so the practical issue is whether the VIN is included and whether Lucid finds an incorrect front seat backrest cover during inspection.
Who's affected?
The issue involves the complete front seat assemblies, which tie the seat structure and air bag system to the same recall.
