DRAFT EMAIL TEXT
SUBJECT: IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL, 2022 Lucid
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 Lucid
Air vehicles.
Specifically, front strut dampers installed on certain Lucid
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 Lucid
Service Center or contact Lucid
Customer Care at 888-99-LUCID
or [email protected]to schedule time to have your Lucid
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 Lucid
team will explain your options for scheduling an appointment at a Lucid
Service Center, scheduling the Mobile Service Team visit to your location, or having a Lucid
Valet Service transport your Lucid
Air for you.
Sincerely,
Lucid
USA Inc.
Chronology :
On Jan. 6, 2022, Supplier notified Lucid
that a failure of Supplier’s vision system allowed for incorrect installation of spring seats on front damper assemblies. On Jan. 7, Lucid
began a containment protocol to quarantine potentially affected parts. By Jan. 10, Lucid
quarantined all parts and began inspecting all quarantined and already installed parts.
On Jan. 13, this matter was raised as a safety concern to Lucid
’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. Lucid
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 Lucid
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 Lucid
PSWG met to consider Supplier’s recommendation and additional analysis by Lucid
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 Lucid
’s Product Safety Executive Council (PSEC) on the issue. On Feb. 9, the PSEC concluded that, out of an abundance of caution, Lucid
would conduct a recall of affected vehicles.

Lucid inspected and verified parts were conforming on all other vehicles produced during this period. On February 16, Supplier notified Lucid that due to a software failure in its new visual inspection system, and contrary to its previous certification, Supplier may have continued to ship suspect parts to Lucid until January 27, 2022. Supplier provided an expanded list of suspect parts serial numbers. From these serial numbers, Lucid identified 15 additional vehicles delivered to customers with suspect parts, manufactured through February 12, 2022. This brings the total vehicles subject to recall to 203. Supplier is implementing additional manufacturing inspections to inspect all damper assemblies at production and before shipment, and labeling all conforming parts as such. Lucid is inspecting all damper assemblies at its logistics warehouse, at its manufacturing plant, and installed in vehicles. As of February 20, Lucid has also implemented additional inspections at its logistics warehouse and manufacturing plant to prevent acceptance or installation of any suspect parts from Supplier in the future. Vehicles produced after this date range are not affected as they were produced after the production countermeasure was implemented.

FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : Possible loss of vehicle control and possible diminished braking authority, leading to increased likelihood of an accident. Description of the Cause : The cause was an incorrect build and inspection during the Supplier’s manufacturing process. The Supplier reported that it may have installed some spring seat snap rings upside down, which may result in the snap ring failing and loss of spring seat retention. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : The driver would not receive a warning prior to a front damper snap ring failure. If the failure caused damage to the electrical connections to the damper solenoids, the driver would receive a warning message stating “Suspension Control Fault. Contact Service Center.” If the failure resulted in a brake hose
leak, the driver would not receive any immediate warning. If the brake fluid
level fell below 81.9% of the minimum recommended reservoir brake fluid
volume, the driver would receive a warning message stating “Brake Fluid
Level Low. Refill Required, Contact Service Center,” with an accompanying audible warning. Involved Components : Component Name 1 : Thyssenkrupp Bilstein Component Description : Front Left Damper Spring Assembly Component Part Number : P11-SDFSL1-01/-02 Component Name 2 : Thyssenkrupp Bilstein Component Description : Front Right Damper Spring Assembly Component Part Number : P11-SDFSR1-01/-02 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-090 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Name : Thyssenkrupp Bilstein of America Address : 8685 Bilstein Boulevard Hamilton Ohio 45015 Country : United States Chronology : On Jan. 6, 2022, Supplier notified Lucid that a failure of Supplier’s vision system allowed for incorrect installation of spring seats on front damper assemblies. On Jan. 7, Lucid began a containment protocol to quarantine potentially affected parts. By Jan. 10, Lucid quarantined all parts and began inspecting all quarantined and already installed parts. On Jan. 13, this matter was raised as a safety concern to Lucid’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. Lucid 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 Lucid 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 Lucid PSWG met to consider Supplier’s recommendation and additional analysis by Lucid 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 Lucid’s Product Safety Executive Council (PSEC) on the issue. On Feb. 9, the PSEC concluded that, out of an abundance of caution, Lucid would conduct a recall of affected vehicles. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : All owners of subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail with instructions to bring their vehicles to Lucid studios or Lucid satellite service centers for inspection and replacement, if necessary, of front strut dampers AT NO COST to the customer. Technicians will perform a visible inspection of the left and right front damper assemblies for proper snap ring installation. If technicians identify an incorrect snap ring orientation on either damper assembly, Lucid will replace the affected damper assembly AT NO COST to the customer. How Remedy Component Differs The Supplier initially replaced the detection system in its assembly process and certified to Lucid that all subsequent front damper assemblies Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-090 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 from Recalled Component : were being produced with the snap ring installed in the correct orientation. Supplier is correcting the detection system software error, implementing parts inspections at manufacture and shipment, and labeling all conforming parts for easy verification. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : On January 6, 2022, the Supplier notified Lucid of the possibility of spring seats installed incorrectly. On January 7, Lucid implemented a containment protocol to quarantine all potentially affected parts received. By January 10, all received parts were quarantined at the Lucid factory, and Lucid began inspecting all quarantined parts and all parts installed on vehicles. Bilstein certified that all parts supplied after January 10 were OK. Lucid established an initial clean point for production on January 10, 2022. On February 16, Supplier notified Lucid that due to a software failure in its new visual inspection system, and contrary to its previous certification, Supplier may have continued to ship suspect parts to Lucid until January 27, 2022.
