Lucid Motors has announced a recall of over 4,000 units of its Gravity SUV model due to improperly welded seat belts, marking another quality control setback for the electric vehicle manufacturer.

The recall affects vehicles that entered production last year when the company began manufacturing the Gravity SUV. The defective welding of seat belt components poses a potential safety risk to passengers.

This latest recall underscores continuing production quality challenges at Lucid Motors. The company previously encountered manufacturing difficulties when it first launched Gravity production, struggling with various quality control issues during the initial production ramp-up.

The recall represents a significant portion of the company's Gravity production to date, indicating the scope of the manufacturing defect. Lucid Motors will need to address the welding issues and implement corrective measures for affected vehicles.

The company has not yet announced the timeline for repairs or the specific steps vehicle owners should take. This recall adds to the broader challenges facing newer electric vehicle manufacturers as they scale production while maintaining quality standards.
