This page covers 5 recalls, 14 owner complaints and NHTSA crash-test ratings for the 2025 Lucid Air.
5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
For the 2025 Lucid Air, the complaint set is small but the most consistent thread involves the forward collision avoidance system. Owners report the system triggering unexpectedly or behaving erratically during normal driving. Powertrain complaints, though fewer in number, describe more dramatic events, one owner reports a sudden total powertrain failure with rear wheels locking and the vehicle rolling to a stop, with a dealer diagnosis pointing to an inverter failure and battery disconnect unit fault. A couple of service brake complaints round out the set. On the convenience side, some owners flag the proximity-based door locking behavior, where the vehicle locks while a door is still open, which owners describe as trapping passengers inside temporarily.

By System
The 2025 Lucid Air has 5 recalls, the most serious affecting Pure Rear-Wheel Drive models where the half-shaft can disconnect from the drive unit or a short wiring harness can strain the rear drive unit connection, either of which can cause a complete loss of drive power.
Both drivetrain issues are limited to the Pure Rear-Wheel Drive configuration: one involves bolts that may not hold the half-shaft securely to the drive unit, and the other involves a rear subframe wiring harness that can pull tight and cut power to the rear drive unit. Two recalls cover rearview camera failures tied to specific software versions: on some vehicles, the camera image may not appear at all when reversing, and on others equipped with the AD02 package running certain software, the image either fails to display or shows a delayed and inaccurate view of what is behind the vehicle.
