Lucid Recalls 27,000 Air Sedans Over Fire Risk, Tells Owners to Park Outside
LCID has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $2.37.
Summary
Lucid is recalling 27,185 Air sedans in the U.S. because an exterior lighting circuit can overheat and cause a fire. NHTSA is telling owners to park outside and away from structures until the fix is applied. Lucid has already pushed an over-the-air software update to address the issue. This is a significant safety action for a company that has been struggling with losses and restructuring. The recall adds regulatory and reputational pressure, though the software remedy may limit the financial hit. Watch for any further NHTSA actions or owner complaints.
At the time of this announcement, LCID was trading at $5.13 on NASDAQ in the Energy & Transportation sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $2B.
