Rivian is recalling approximately 7,873 of its 2022 R1T and R1S vehicles because the accelerator pedal may fail to detect when the driver has released it. This defect can prevent the vehicle's "auto-hold" or "park" functions from activating as expected, which could lead to the vehicle moving when the driver believes it is secured. Rivian is addressing this issue through an over-the-air software update and by replacing the accelerator pedal assembly in all affected vehicles free of charge.
If the auto-hold or park features fail to engage, the vehicle may move or roll unexpectedly after the driver has released the pedal, significantly increasing the risk of a collision or injury to people nearby.
You have 2 options:
Over-the-air (OTA) software update
