"Lucid Motors has recalled over 4,000 Gravity SUVs after discovering a problem with seat belts. The company told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that some of the anchors for the second-row seat belts weren't welded properly."
"The company blames the issue on a seat supplier changing its manufacturing process without notice to or approval by Lucid. It says it has reverted to the original design and that newer models aren't impacted by the recall."
"The number accounts for nearly every Gravity SUV manufactured since it launched last year. It's been reported that the company sold around 15,800 vehicles in 2025, but that accounts for every model in the lineup."
"Lucid has been burning through cash without too much to show for it. This would doom other manufacturers, but Lucid has an extremely wealthy benefactor. The majority stakeholder is The Saudi Public Investment Fund, which has invested billions in the company."
Lucid Motors has recalled over 4,000 Gravity SUVs due to improperly welded anchors for second-row seat belts, which may fail in collisions. The issue arose from a seat supplier changing manufacturing processes without Lucid's approval. The company has reverted to the original design, ensuring newer models are unaffected. Each recalled vehicle will be inspected, and owners will receive service instructions. Despite previous recalls for airbags and software issues, no injuries have been reported. Lucid's financial struggles are mitigated by significant investment from The Saudi Public Investment Fund.
