Lucid Motors Recalls Over 4,000 Gravity SUVs

Lucid Motors has announced a recall affecting more than 4,000 of its Gravity SUVs. The recall is due to a defect in the second-row seat belt anchors, which may not have been properly welded during manufacturing.

Seat Belt Anchor Defect Explained

According to a notification to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the improperly welded anchors could fail to restrain passengers adequately in the event of a collision. This poses a significant safety risk to occupants of the second row.

Supplier Manufacturing Change Cited

Lucid Motors attributes the issue to a seat supplier that altered its manufacturing process “without notice to or approval by Lucid.” The company states it has since reverted to the original seat design, and vehicles manufactured after February 14, 2026, are not affected by the recall.

Recall Procedure and Impact

The recall requires Lucid to inspect all affected Gravity SUVs. Inspections may result in the installation of a new bracket or a complete seat replacement. Owners will be contacted with instructions on how to schedule service appointments.

No Injuries Reported

Fortunately, Lucid Motors reports that no injuries have been linked to the seat belt defect to date. However, the recall impacts a substantial portion of the Gravity SUVs produced since its launch last year.

Financial Backing Supports Recall Efforts

This isn’t the first recall for the Gravity SUV, but Lucid has strong financial backing. The majority stakeholder is the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which has invested billions in the company. Nick Twork, Lucid’s VP of Communications, affirmed that Saudi Arabia “stands behind us as a long-term partner.”

Recall Scope

While 4,000 vehicles may seem like a small number compared to recalls from larger manufacturers like Toyota or Ford, it represents nearly all Gravity SUVs manufactured to date.
