DRAFT EMAIL TEXT

SUBJECT: IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL, 2022 LucideBay logo Air Owner Notification

Dear [Customer Full Name],

The attached notification letter is being shared in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. We’ve determined that a defect relating to safety exists in certain 2022 LucideBay logo Air vehicles.

Specifically, front strut dampers installed on certain LucideBay logo Airs may have been manufactured by the supplier with the snap ring, located directly below the coil spring seat, installed in the wrong orientation. This condition may result in a sudden loss of ground clearance, vehicle vibration, and front brake line damage, increasing the risk of a crash.

Please reach out to a LucideBay logo Service Center or contact LucideBay logo Customer Care at 888-99-LUCIDeBay logo or [email protected]to schedule time to have your LucideBay logo Air inspected as soon as possible. We apologize for this inconvenience and assure you that any inspection and remedy (if necessary) will be performed at NO CHARGE to you. A member of the LucideBay logo team will explain your options for scheduling an appointment at a LucideBay logo Service Center, scheduling the Mobile Service Team visit to your location, or having a LucideBay logo Valet Service transport your LucideBay logo Air for you.

Sincerely,

LucideBay logo USA Inc.

 


Chronology :

On Jan. 6, 2022, Supplier notified LucideBay logo that a failure of Supplier’s vision system allowed for incorrect installation of spring seats on front damper assemblies. On Jan. 7, LucideBay logo began a containment protocol to quarantine potentially affected parts. By Jan. 10, LucideBay logo quarantined all parts and began inspecting all quarantined and already installed parts.

On Jan. 13, this matter was raised as a safety concern to LucideBay logo’s Product Safety Working Group (PSWG). The PSWG reviewed Supplier’s fatigue testing of incorrectly installed parts, which showed such parts could fail at between 4% and 44% of design life. LucideBay logo began analysis of the impact of a failure on vehicle controllability, the likelihood of a spring seat contacting the vehicle’s braided brake lines, and the impact thereof.

On Feb. 2, Supplier communicated to LucideBay logo that, “The durability life … can happen at extremely low cycle counts. … The Bilstein recommendation based on the information we have is that this condition needs to be assessed on vehicles.”

On Feb. 3, the LucideBay logo PSWG met to consider Supplier’s recommendation and additional analysis by LucideBay logo engineers. Analysis of vehicle controllability impacts indicated that the front corner experiencing a failure would drop downwards and the diagonally opposite corner would experience reduced loading, resulting in degraded steering and braking performance. Analysis of the failure on braided brake lines was ongoing. It was unknown whether the damper would contact the brake lines and if it did, whether the brake lines would be damaged. Assuming the braided brake lines were damaged and a leak occurred, over time, worst case loss of braking authority would be a reduction of 50%.

On Feb. 7, the PSWG briefed LucideBay logo’s Product Safety Executive Council (PSEC) on the issue. On Feb. 9, the PSEC concluded that, out of an abundance of caution, LucideBay logo would conduct a recall of affected vehicles.
