U.S. electric vehicle maker Lucid has issued another recall related to rearview camera functionality, affecting both its Air sedan and the newly launched Gravity electric SUV, according to regulatory filings in the United States and Canada.
The recall covers more than 14,000 vehicles in total after the company determined that, under certain conditions, the rearview camera image may fail to display when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. Filings with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada show that the issue is linked to software behavior rather than hardware faults.

The first campaign affects about 3,900 model year 2025–2026 Lucid Gravity SUVs running software versions earlier than 3.3.20. In these vehicles, the rearview image may not appear at all, or a warning message may indicate that the camera is unavailable. Lucid said the problem stemmed from software that could intermittently mishandle vehicle power state and camera view signals, as well as weaknesses in fault recovery within the camera processing pipeline.
Lucid engineers first observed the behavior on internal test vehicles in October and November 2025, the company said in its filings. After confirming additional customer cases, Lucid issued a temporary stop-sale in December while finalising a remedy. Software version 3.3.20 was released via an over-the-air update on Dec. 11, 2025, restructuring camera signal handling and improving error recovery. Vehicles built after that date were updated before delivery. As of the recall submission, most Gravity vehicles had already received the update, with 438 still running older software.

In a separate recall announced at the same time, Lucid is addressing a similar issue affecting 10,816 model year 2022–2026 Lucid Air sedans equipped with the AD02 package and running software versions 2.8.0 through 2.8.16. In these vehicles, higher compute load when waking from a sleep state could prevent the Autonomous Control Unit from delivering a full-frame rearview image, resulting in a blank display or an error message instructing drivers to restart the vehicle.
Lucid said it identified the Air-related issue in late 2025 following internal testing and a limited number of warranty claims. A stop-sale was issued on affected models in November, and a fix was released shortly afterwards through software version 2.8.17. The update modifies the startup sequence of the control unit to ensure consistent video performance and was deployed to customers via an over-the-air update in December. By mid-January, more than 9,000 vehicles had already been updated, with owner notification letters scheduled to be mailed by March 13, 2026.

The two recalls follow an earlier rearview camera-related campaign issued in August 2025, when Lucid addressed blank or delayed camera images on 875 Air sedans through another software update. While Lucid said the root causes differ across the campaigns, the repeated recalls underscore the complexity of software development for advanced vehicle systems, particularly as the company continues to scale production and support new models.
