Lucid recalls 27,185 Air sedans in the U.S.
Aug. 28 (Reuters) - Electric vehicle maker Lucid LCID.O is recalling 27,185 of its flagship Air luxury sedans in the U.S. because an exterior lighting circuit could overheat and increase the risk of a fire, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday.
The NHTSA recall notice asked owners to park their vehicles outside and away from structures until a remedy is deployed. The overheated circuit could also cause loss of exterior lighting, which could, in turn, increase the risk of a crash, according to the NHTSA.
Lucid has released an over-the-air software update to fix the issue and has already determined that 20,719 vehicles have received the update, the NHTSA added.
