Chronology of events

1. Jul 11, 2025

   On July 11, 2025, Piston Interiors LLC began manufacturing seat covers for Lucid. The seat covers were used by Lucid’s seat manufacturer, Hyundai Transys, who notified Lucid on October 27, 2025 that they had discovered a mislabeled seat backrest cover during seat assembly. A driver-side seat backrest cover was labeled as a passenger-side seat backrest cover. Between October 27 and October 30, 2025 the three parties held joint meetings, found another mislabeled seat backrest cover, identified a batch of seat backrest covers that could have been mislabeled, established containment at all three locations and established a root cause for the labeling issue. Starting October 27, Piston implemented an on-site 200% production inspection.

2. Nov 10, 2025

   On October 31, Lucid issued a stop sale and began to inspect all Piston-made seat backrest covers at the factory. By November 3, the three parties identified a suspect population of 113 vehicles with the potential for mislabeled seat backrest covers. On the same day, Lucid’s Product Safety Working Group (PSWG) began to investigate the issue. During its investigation, the PSWG determined that 66 of the 113 suspect vehicles had previously been delivered to customers. By November 10, 2025, the seat cover manufacturer had implemented on-site production inspections using a camera system that prevents labels from being printed for the incorrect seat backrest cover. Lucid visited the seat cover manufacturer’s location and validated the system on November 11.

3. Nov 13, 2025

   On November 13, 2025 Lucid completed a vehicle inspection campaign at the factory of 754 vehicles outside the suspect population and found 0 vehicles with incorrect front seat backrest covers.

4. Dec 3, 2025

   On December 3, 2025, the PSWG briefed this issue to Lucid’s Product Safety Executive Council (PSEC). The PSEC determined that there was an unreasonable risk to safety for Lucid Gravity vehicles suspected of having mislabeled seat backrest covers and that a recall was required.
