Lucid Motors is recalling
4,476 Gravity SUVs (2025–2026 models) due to potential failure of second-row seat belt lap anchor welds. These faulty welds, originating from a supplier, may fail in a collision, raising injury risks. Affected owners will be notified by mail by May 22, 2026, and Lucid will inspect and repair or replace the seats for free.

Key Details of the Lucid Recall:
  • Models Affected: 2025–2026 Lucid Gravity SUVs produced before Feb. 14, 2026.
  • The Problem: The second-row outboard lap belt anchor bracket may have insufficient welds, which could cause them to fail during a crash.
  • Safety Risk: The vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 207 and 210) and might not properly restrain passengers.
  • Remedy: Lucid will inspect the affected vehicles and, if necessary, install a reinforcement bracket with adhesive or replace the entire seat assembly for free.
  • Company Action: This is a physical recall; owners will receive notification letters starting around May 22, 2026.

Great review from across the pond, you can see what the Saudi-built EU market Gravity looks like with CCS port. I also learned that there is a little bit of recline on the 3rd row. And complications of having 'household' outlets in multiple markets means lots of different plugs.....
