Which build runs owners report most
A production run is the first 11 characters of the VIN: plant, model year, body and engine. The Lucid Air has 44 of them on record. The five runs at the top of this table hold 30% of every Air complaint on file.

Each of the other 32 Air runs has 2 complaints or fewer. ForCar has checked 181 Air VINs so far, most often 2024, 2023, 2025 builds; 23 of them belong to one of the 12 runs above.
Which model years to check twice
Complaints per production run, so a year that simply sold more does not top the list.
| Year | Per run | Complaints | Runs | Crashes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 15 | 10 | 2 | |
| 2024 | 10 | 9 | 2 | |
| 2023 | 28 | 15 | 7 | |
| 2022 | 24 | 10 | 5 |
Heaviest year here is 2022 at 2.4 complaints per run; lightest is 2024 at 1.1. The 2025 line is still collecting reports, so it reads low.
