Certainly, floor mats. Not vehicles.
- Lucid is recalling more than 4,000 floor mats.
- The initial version of the company's All-Weather mats had the issue of sliding over the accelerator pedal of the Air EV.
Lucid , the creator of the Air and Gravity Luxury electric vehicle maker is recalling 4,294 floor mats due to their potential movement within the footwell, which could obstruct the accelerator pedal. As you can see, this detail is accurate, the floor mats are being recalled, rather than the vehicles into which they were installed.
According to documents As per the report published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Air EV genuine all-weather floor mats offered by Lucid up till February 2025 are responsible for the issue. These mats feature nubs at the base; however, they lack a cut-out section where an anchoring mechanism could be attached.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing owners can do except take the mat out of the driver’s footwell. Lucid said it would reimburse customers for the price of the potentially dangerous all-weather floor mats and that there is a new model that has a hole. This way, it attaches firmly to the carpet beneath and doesn’t go anywhere.

“A Lucid representative stated in an emailed message that the safety of our customers and their families is paramount,” Automotive News Lucid has started reaching out to the original owners of these vehicle models to inform them about the recalls and to offer additional details.
Last August, a salesperson operating a Lucid Air in Europe initially identified the problem. According to the electric vehicle manufacturer, out of thirteen cases, certain movements were noted in the all-season floor mats; however, these did not obstruct the operation of the accelerator pedal. Although Lucid has no records indicating accidents due to this matter, the company has opted for a recall as the mats present "a potential hazard through their ability to shift, which could impede the accelerator from resetting to its neutral state."
