The car brand Lucid believes that it must be enough to immediately warn the owners about the problem instead of the defective part.
How should car brands actually interpret an ordered recall? The American traffic safety authorities may now have to start investigating.
In any case, the American electric car manufacturer Lucid has now come into the spotlight because the brand may have circumvented the rules for a recall.
Carscoops writes that.
Authorities believe that Lucid may have cheated the scale by simply sending out a software update to cars with defective windshield heating elements.

The software works by notifying Lucid owners when it is not possible to defrost the windshield. For example on a cold day.
But it is therefore not certain that the software-programmed warning is enough. Especially because Lucid itself has come to the conclusion that some of the technology used to heat up the windscreen does not work at all in certain cars.
But Lucid may be content to wait for the parts to break completely, because they warn the owners that they must take their cars to the workshop.
