Lucid: Award — Recall
Lucid’s new Gravity just took home 2026 World Luxury Car — a high-profile win after the Air’s 2023 victory — but the launch is marred by a recall affecting over 4,000 SUVs. (indiatoday.in) The recall covers all Gravity vehicles built before Feb. 14, 2026 for improperly welded seat belts blamed on a supplier change that has since been reverted, and Lucid so far only registered a single Gravity in Norway in Q1 as European rollout lags.

The World Car Awards ceremony announcing winners was held at the New York International Auto Show on April 1, 2026, with results tabulated by KPMG. (worldcarawards.com)) The 2026 World Luxury Car shortlist named the Cadillac Vistiq and Volvo ES90 alongside the Lucid Gravity before the Gravity was chosen as the category winner. (motoringresearch.com)) Lucid filed a safety recall with U.S. regulators covering more than 4,000 Gravity SUVs after discovering that some second‑row lap‑belt anchor brackets may have insufficient welds. (techcrunch.com)) Company filings and reporting say the recall population includes Gravity vehicles built before February 14, 2026, and that Lucid traced the issue to a seat supplier that altered its manufacturing process without Lucid’s approval. (techcrunch.com)) Lucid told regulators it has reverted the supplier to the original seat‑anchor design and that newer production runs are not affected; the company announced a senior supply‑chain appointment, Neil Marsons, on January 29, 2026, as it scales operations. (engadget.com)) In Europe, registrations remain minimal: Norwegian registration datasets and reporting show just a handful of Lucid vehicles recently (two in the six months reported), with the only Gravity recorded there as a November entry likely for showroom or press use rather than retail delivery.
