NHTSA campaign 22V090000 ↗What owners report
The top complaint categories owners submitted to NHTSA, by count. Bars show each category's size relative to this model's largest category.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports, not confirmed defects. One complaint can span multiple categories, so percentages are of the 70 total and may add up to more than 100%.
Complaints by model year
Raw counts — older model years have had more time on the road to accumulate reports. These are unverified consumer reports.
What this means
Every mainstream EV on the road carries recalls on its NHTSA file — a recall is the system working: a known issue gets documented and, almost always, fixed for free.
What actually matters is whether the remedies have shipped and whether NHTSA still has open questions. For the Lucid Air, all 18 recalls on file have a remedy available, and 1 NHTSA investigation is currently open (an open question, not a finding of a defect).

Frequently asked questions
Is the Lucid Air reliable?
"Reliability" is measured differently by different sources, and NHTSA doesn't publish a reliability score. What its public file — the basis for this page — shows for the Lucid Air is 18 recalls, all with a remedy available, 1 open investigation, and 70 owner-submitted complaints — which are unverified reports, not confirmed defects. For predicted-reliability and owner-satisfaction verdicts, Consumer Reports and J.D. Power run large owner-survey panels; check their model pages for those ratings.
Does the Lucid Air have any recalls?
Yes — NHTSA lists 18 recall campaigns for the Lucid Air. All of them have a remedy available. The most recent was filed May 13, 2026 and involved Electrical System / Propulsion System / Inverter. A recall is how a known issue gets fixed — usually free of charge — so the presence of recalls isn't the same as an unresolved problem.
Does the Lucid Air have battery problems?
NHTSA's file lists 1 recall classified to the battery / high-voltage group and 7 owner complaints (unverified consumer reports) that touch the battery. Owner complaints are unverified and one complaint can span more than one category, so treat the count as a signal of what owners raise, not a defect rate.
