Lucid has issued another rearview camera–related recall, this time affecting both the Air sedan and its new Gravity electric SUV. This is the second time in as many months the automaker has had to address software issues tied to its rear view camera.
According to filings with Transport Canada and the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Lucid is recalling a combined total of more than 14,000 vehicles after discovering that the rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
Gravity Recall
The first recall affects 3,900 model year 2025–2026 Lucid Gravity SUVs operating software versions earlier than 3.3.20. In these vehicles, the rearview image may fail to appear entirely, or the screen may display a warning indicating the camera is unavailable. Lucid traced the issue to software that could intermittently mishandle vehicle power state and camera view signals, along with fault recovery problems deeper in the camera pipeline.
Lucid says engineers first observed the behavior on internal test vehicles in October and November 2025. After additional customer cases were confirmed, the company issued a temporary stop-sale in December while it finalized a fix. Software version 3.3.20 was released over-the-air on December 11, 2025, restructuring camera signal handling and improving low-level error recovery. Vehicles built after that date are updated prior to delivery.
By the time the recall filing was submitted, data showed that most Gravity owners had already installed the update, though 438 vehicles remained on older software.
Air Recall
At the same time, Lucid issued a separate recall covering 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, increased compute load when waking from a sleep state could prevent the Autonomous Control Unit from delivering a full-frame rearview image. When this occurs, the center display may remain blank or show an error message instructing the driver to restart the vehicle.
Lucid identified the issue in late 2025 after reviewing internal testing results and a small number of warranty claims. A stop-sale was issued on affected Air models in November, and the fix arrived shortly after in the form of software version 2.8.17. The update adjusts the ACU startup process to ensure consistent video performance and was pushed to customers via an OTA update in December.
By mid-January, more than 9,000 affected Air vehicles had already been updated, with owner notification letters scheduled to be mailed by March 13, 2026.
As we noted, these recalls follow an earlier rearview camera-related recall issued in August 2025, when Lucid addressed blank or delayed camera images on 875 Air sedans through another OTA update. While the underlying causes differ, the repeated campaigns highlight the challenges facing Lucid’s software team, which was recently overhauled due to the numerous bugs present in the Gravity since its launch.
