Recall 26V018 affects 3,900 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity vehicles because the rearview camera image can fail. Lucid's free OTA update is available.
Lucid is recalling 3,900 2025-2026 Gravity vehicles because software before version 3.3.20 can keep the rearview camera image from displaying in reverse. That limits the driver's view behind the vehicle and increases crash risk, and Lucid dealers will update the software free of charge.

What's wrong?
The rear view monitor software in the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity controls the camera image shown when the SUV is shifted into reverse. That image gives the driver a view directly behind the vehicle, which is required for rear visibility and helps during backing maneuvers.
On Gravity SUVs running software earlier than version 3.3.20, the camera system can lose the signals that tell it the vehicle power state and which camera view to show. Error handling in the lower-level camera pipeline can also leave the video feed blank. When that happens, the screen shows no rearview image even though the vehicle is in reverse.
Owners will notice the problem at the moment they shift into reverse. The rearview image does not appear on the instrument cluster, or the vehicle shows a warning telltale and the message, "Camera Unavailable. Restart the vehicle. Schedule service if the problem persists."
Who's affected?
Covers Gravity SUVs from the 2025 and 2026 model years using rear-view monitor software below version 3.3.20.

| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged 9 field incidents to date. |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A rearview image that fails to display reduces the driver's view behind the Gravity and increases the risk of a crash. If the camera view does not appear, or the vehicle shows a camera unavailable message, use extra care when backing up and schedule service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Lucid dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Lucid service center if the OTA software update is not available in the vehicle.
- Install Lucid's free OTA software update to restore the rearview-camera display when the vehicle is placed in reverse.
- Reference recall number 26V018 and Lucid recall SR-26-02-0 when you contact Lucid service.
- Use extra care when backing up until the software update is installed and the rearview image displays correctly.
What happens at the repair
Lucid has released a free over-the-air software update for Gravity vehicles running software earlier than 3.3.20. The update corrects the rearview camera display issue when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, so this repair does not require a normal parts replacement. If the update has not installed, contact Lucid Customer Care or a Lucid service center for help. Lucid offers reimbursement for reasonable owner-paid costs to remedy this defect from initial vehicle delivery through 10 days after the owner letter was mailed. Contact Lucid Customer Care at 1-888-995-8243 if you have a claim.
