The entry-level Lucid Air is being recalled because its inverter may get damaged over time.
If that happens, the inverter will no longer convert DC power from the main battery to AC power for the rear electric motor.
As a result, the car will lose power, and in some cases, this can happen without warning.
Lucid Motors is recalling 2,039 Air Pure electric sedans because they may lose power while driving due to a damaged inverter. The Lucid Air Pure is the only rear-wheel drive model in Lucid’s portfolio, so if the rear drive unit stops providing motivation, the car can no longer move, as would be the case with an all-wheel drive model.
The American EV startup said that vehicles with a fourth-generation inverter built between September 13, 2023, and December 12, 2024, are affected by this issue. Over time, the switching module inside the Gen 4 inverter in certain 2023-2025 model year Lucid Air Pure vehicles could get damaged due to vibrations created by the motor and transmitted to the inverter and its internal components.
