EDV Seat Belt Misuse
Rivian Automotive, LLC has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain model year 2022-2025 Rivian EDV vehicles.
What Is the problem?
Rivian has determined that on certain EDV vehicles the driver side seat belt pretensioner may be damaged from repeated misuse, such as from the driver sitting on the seatbelt while it is buckled underneath the driver.
A seat belt pretensioner cable damaged by repeated misuse may not adequately restrain the seat occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. To date, Rivian is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.
What will Rivian do?
Rivian has released an over-the-air update that enables automatic detection of any seatbelt misuse by the driver. In addition, Rivian will inspect and, as necessary, replace the driver's seat belt pretensioner assembly in the affected vehicles free of charge.

Please call 1.855.RIVB2B1 (1.855.748.2221) to schedule the recall service repair at your earliest convenience. The estimated recall service time should take less than an hour to complete, please plan accordingly.
