Lucid Group Inc (LCID) shares plummeted 5.29% in intraday trading on Friday, following news that the company is recalling 1,539 vehicles in the U.S. market due to a potential loss of drive power caused by a short wiring harness.
The electric vehicle maker announced the recall after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identified the wiring issue, which could cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. Lucid is working to resolve the problem by replacing the affected wiring harnesses free of charge.
While the recall affects a relatively small number of vehicles, investors reacted negatively to the news, sending Lucid's stock down sharply. The recall raises concerns about the company's quality control and potential impact on its production and delivery schedules, compounding existing challenges in the highly competitive EV market.
