Lucid Recall Traced to Exterior LED Software, Fixed in July Update

The recall covers software controlling low-voltage exterior lighting that failed to guard against overcurrent, according to Electrek. In certain situations too much current can reach the exterior LEDs, which could cause overheating.

The correction shipped in the 2.10.0 software update, released in July, Electrek reported.

As of August 20th, 20,719 of the affected vehicles had already received the updated software, while 6,466 still needed to apply it, according to Electrek.
