If you happen to own a Lucid Air equipped with the optional all-weather floor mats, you might want to brace yourself for some unexpected news. The carmaker is issuing a recall notice, as there’s a chance these floor mats could shift out of position and interfere with the throttle pedal, raising the risk of an accident.

Sound familiar? It’s eerily reminiscent of Toyota’s infamous floor mat debacle from over a decade ago, where improperly secured mats were blamed for a series of unintended acceleration incidents.

According to Lucid, its Model -00 all-weather floor mats are only secured in place by small nibs on the underside, rather than any proper anchors. This means they’re prone to slipping forward, and this can lead to unintended acceleration. That doesn’t just put occupants inside a Lucid at risk, but could also endanger other road users.

How Did This All Happen?

Lucid first became aware of a potential issue in August last year when a sales associate was driving an Air with the floor mats in Europe suspected the mat had slipped forward and caused the accelerator to stick. The company later became aware of 13 other cases of the floor mats moving, but there were no reports of it interfering with the accelerator.

However, on February 27, 2025, a U.S. customer reported an issue: while accelerating, the throttle pedal didn’t return to its normal position after being released. Lucid determined that the potential for the floor mat to shift and interfere with the pedal posed an unreasonable safety risk.

As a result, the company has stopped selling the problematic all-weather floor mats and now only offers mats that feature holes to attach to anchors in the carpet, as you’ll find in most vehicles.

Owners of Lucid Air models with the affected mats are being instructed to remove them and will receive a full refund for their purchase. If you’re unsure whether your mats are the faulty ones or the newer, anchor-secured type, simply take your vehicle to a Lucid facility for a free inspection.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is equipped with a dizzying array of different driving modes and features designed to make it the ultimate all-electric hooligan. However, an issue with one of these features has forced the company to recall more than 1,500 Ioniq 5 Ns across the United States.

A recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) pinpoints the car’s Left-Foot Braking mode as being at fault. As the name of this mode implies, it allows drivers to use the brake and throttle pedals simultaneously and is aimed at high-performance driving on the racetrack.

However, it has been revealed that, at certain times, the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) control software can trigger a depressurization of the ABS system, reducing braking performance. This obviously increases the risk of a crash, particularly on the track where drivers need the most out of the braking system.

In total, 1,508 examples of the Ioniq 5 N are involved in the recall. These cars were manufactured between December 18, 2023, and December 10, 2024.

Hyundai plans to notify both dealers and owners of the recall on April 7 and is encouraging all owners to stop using the Left-Foot Braking feature. Dealers have been told to update the IEB and VCU software to rectify the fault.

While this appears to be the first recall specifically impacting the Ioniq 5 N in the US, the regular model has been recalled in the past. In November last year, the Hyundai Motor Group recalled over 145,000 Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Genesis G80 Electrified, Genesis GV70 Electrified, and Genesis GV60 models, because the integrated charging control unit could get damaged, preventing the 12-volt battery from charging and causing it to slowly drain.

The Kia EV9 has been warmly received and has picked up numerous accolades including 2024 World Car of the Year. That’s commendable, but the recalls are starting to add up. The latest involves 342 units from the 2025 model year, which may have an improperly welded rear gear drive unit motor shaft.

As the safety recall report explained, EV9s equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel drive system could be affected “due to a supplier welding error.” This mistake means the “motor shaft inside the rear GDU [gear drive unit] may become damaged, resulting in reduced acceleration and motive power.”

The vehicles were built in Georgia between October and December of last year. Drivers might be notified about a problem via an odd noise or a “Check AWD/4WD” warning message.

Kia first became aware of the issue in January when they noticed a trend in assistance cases as well as one reported case of loss of motive power. This sparked an investigation and a tear down revealed the motor shaft inside the rear gear drive unit was damaged due to a welding error. An engineer also tested an EV9 and found it “would not accelerate above 12 mph (19 km/h) in certain conditions.”

Kia is aware of ten reports claiming a loss or reduction in motive power. However, there haven’t been any accidents or injuries related to the issue.

Owner notifications are slated to be mailed out later this week and dealers will replace the rear gear drive unit. This is easier said than done as the swap apparently takes over six hours.
