Known issues

Low
Lucid's spec sheets give the rear-drive Pure 88 kWh for 2024 and 84 kWh for 2025, both on 16 modules. Lucid's EPA filings list the same pack throughout, with 16 modules, 4,800 cells and 580 volts, and Lucid has not said whether the lower figure is a usable capacity or a change to the pack.
Low
Lucid's 2026 EPA filing lists the Pure's pack at 84 kWh nominal with 16 modules, 4,800 cells and 580 volts. Its 2025 filing gave the same pack 88 kWh.
Low
Lucid publishes no peak charging rate for the Pure. Its 2024 and 2025 spec sheets give about 17 minutes to add 200 miles of range.
Medium
Two NHTSA recalls cover the rear half-shaft bolts on 2024-2026 Air Pure cars: 25V-669 (October 2025) and its expansion 26V-193 (March 2026, 3,627 cars). Improperly secured bolts may let the half-shaft disconnect from the drive unit. Dealers remove the bolts and install new ones, free of charge. These concern the drive unit, not the battery.
Medium
NHTSA 26V-309 (May 2026) covers 2,039 rear-wheel-drive Air cars from 2024-2025. The inverter may be damaged by internal friction. Lucid's over-the-air update monitors for an inverter failure, and Lucid replaces the inverter if one is detected. NHTSA 24V-836 (November 2024) covers 1,539 Pure cars whose rear subframe wiring harness may be too short, which can cut power to the rear drive unit; dealers replace the harness.
Low
Lucid's warranty covers the battery for 8 years or 100,000 miles with at least 70% capacity retention.

How this pack ages (industry context)

Industry fleet aggregates: 2.3% average annual capacity loss across 22,700 EVs / 21 models (Geotab, 2026), and 95% range retention at 5 years on average across 30,000+ vehicles (Recurrent, 2026).

OEM warranty floor on this pack: 8 yr / 100k mi to 70% capacity.

Public per-pack degradation curves are not available for most models. Individual results vary materially with climate, charging behavior, and DC fast-charge frequency.

26V309000 May 13, 2026 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:INVERTER

Lucid USA, Inc. (Lucid) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Air vehicles equipped with rear-wheel drive. The Gen 4 inverter may experience internal friction and become damaged, causing a loss of drive power.

Consequence: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

24V836000 Nov 5, 2024 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM

Lucid USA, Inc. (Lucid) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Air Pure rear wheel drive vehicles. The rear subframe wiring harness may be too short, straining the electrical connection and causing power loss to the rear drive unit (RDU).

Consequence: A loss of power to the rear drive unit can result in a complete loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

Filed against: Lucid Air 2024-2026

24V497000 Jul 1, 2024 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:TRACTION BATTERY THERMAL:MANAGEMENT:SOFTWARE

Lucid USA, Inc. (Lucid) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Air vehicles. When a hardware communication fault is detected, the High Voltage Interlock (HVIL) software could disconnect the high voltage contactors while the vehicle is in motion, causing a loss of drive power.

Consequence: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

Filed against: Lucid Air 2024-2026

23V110000 Feb 22, 2023 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:FUSES, RELAYS, CONTACTS, AND SHUNTS

Lucid USA, Inc. (Lucid) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Air vehicles. The electrically activated contact switches that transfer energy to the drive motors, may unexpectedly open, cutting off power to the electric motors.

Consequence: Power loss will shut down electric motors, causing a loss of drive power and increasing the risk of a crash.
