Lucid Motors recalls over 4,000 Gravity SUVs citing improperly welded seat belts
The automaker will inspect 4,476 SUVs and replace seats or add brackets if needed, after a supplier changed its welding process without approval.
- Lucid Motors is recalling 4,476 Gravity SUVs after discovering second-row seat belt anchors may have insufficient welds, potentially preventing restraints from holding passengers securely during a collision.
- Testing in January revealed the defect, which Lucid traced to seat supplier Camaco, claiming the supplier altered manufacturing processes for lap belt anchor welds without notice or approval.
- Only Gravity SUVs manufactured before February 14, 2026, are included in the recall, as the supplier has since reverted to the original design specification for all vehicles produced after that date.
- Owners are expected to receive notification letters on May 22, with technicians prepared to inspect all impacted vehicles and install reinforcement brackets or replace entire seats free of charge.
- No injuries have been reported, but the recall affects nearly every Gravity SUV manufactured since its launch last year, a model central to Lucid's growth strategy following the Air sedan.
