New car manufacturers in the United States have always made it their mission to surpass Tesla, and Lucid is also such a company, and last year they finally began the delivery of the first production car, Air, which is said to be enough to beat the Tesla Model S.
However, like all new cars, mass production is not so easy, and Lucid's new car was not long after it was delivered, and a recall was announced. The recall involved 203 vehicles because of problems with the installation of shock absorbers.
In an email sent to the owners of the affected vehicles, Lucid said that the front strut shock absorbers could have been caused by improper production by the parts supplier, that the snap ring was located just below the coil spring seat, and that it was mounted in the wrong direction.
This situation can cause the vehicle to suddenly lose ground clearance and damage to the front brake line, increasing the risk of a collision. While the flaw could increase the risk of a collision, Lucid said it hasn't received any reports of Air Pillar shock failures.
To address this issue, Lucid will inspect the two front strut shock absorbers on the affected vehicle at the service center and, if necessary, replace them at no additional cost to the customer. The inspection takes about one hour, and if the parts are replaced, it takes four hours.
As can be seen, the recall is a preventative recall, and only 1% of the 203 vehicles that Lucid expects to recall are actually affected by the problem, and the total number of recalled vehicles accounts for 40% of the 520 vehicles produced by Lucid Air Dream Edition.
Last September, Lucid only started production of the first production car, the first Lucid Air Dream Edition version priced as high as $169,000, began to deliver on October 30, so far the official has not provided a specific number of deliveries.
The recall was announced only after small deliveries began, causing Lucid's stock price to fall nearly 5 percent. It seems that if you want to challenge Tesla, Lucid still has a long way to go.
