R1 Incorrect Weight on Tire Placard Label

NHTSA Recall No. 24V-458
Rivian Recall No. FSAM-1491
Recall Status: Remedy Available 06/25/24

Rivian Automotive, LLC has determined that certain model year 2022-2023 Rivian R1S and R1T vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110 – Tire Selection and Rims.

Rivian Recall No. FSAM-1464
Recall Status: Remedy Available 06/14/24

Recall Status: Remedy Available 05/31/24

Rivian Automotive, LLC has decided that certain model year 2023-2024 Rivian R1S, R1T, and EDV vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 108 (Lamp, reflective devices and associated equipment - §571.108 S10.14.6).

Rivian Automotive, LLC has decided that certain model year 2024 Rivian R1S and R1T vehicles fail to confirm to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 – Occupant Crash Protection.

What Is the problem? 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard ("FMVSS") 571.208 Occupant crash protection states, "Vehicles certified to meet the requirements specified in S19, S21, and S23 on or after December 1, 2003, that are equipped with an inflatable restraint for the passenger position shall have a label attached to a location on the dashboard or the steering control hub that is visible from all front seating positions.

2022-2024 Rivian R1S and R1T - Issued 02/08/2024

R1 Daytime Running Lamps Noncompliance

Transport Canada Recall No. 2024-077
Rivian Recall No. FSAM-1385
Recall Status: Remedy Available 02/12/24

Rivian Automotive, LLC has decided that certain model year 2022-2024 Rivian R1S and R1T vehicles fail to conform with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 “Lighting Systems and Reflective Devices.”

What is the problem?

The affected vehicles were built with daytime running lamps that do not comply with regulatory visibility requirements. If the daytime running lamps are switched off manually by setting the lighting mode to the “parking” setting, the daytime running lights will not reactivate automatically. When the vehicle is operated in the “parking” lights mode, the lamps used as daytime running lamps will illuminate. However, the brightness is not sufficiently bright to meet the requirements of daytime running lamps. This noncompliance may affect visibility and potentially increase the risk of a crash.

Dayime running lamps are on when driving with the vehicle in the “auto” lighting mode. Leaving the lights in this mode, as they are by default, will minimize the safety risk.

2022 Rivian R1S & R1T - Issued 12/21/23

Replace Accelerator Pedal

NHTSA Recall No. 23V-883
Rivian Recall No. FSAM-1342
Recall Status: Remedy Available 01/02/2024

Rivian Automotive, LLC has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety existed in certain model year 2022 Rivian R1S and R1T vehicles that were built with an early revision accelerator pedal.

What Is the problem? 

The accelerator pedal may not detect when the driver releases the pedal in hot cabin temperatures, failing to activate "auto-hold" or "park" as intended. If this occurs, the vehicle may not automatically go into “auto-hold” or “park”. This condition may cause the vehicle to creep forward. If this occurs, the driver will be required to take other action to place the vehicle into “hold” or “park”, such as depressing the brake pedal and/or pressing the “park” button. If the vehicle does not automatically go into “auto-hold” or "park”, this may increase the risk of a crash.
