Rivian Automotive is recalling 1,463 of its 2022-2023 R1T and R1S vehicles because a recent software update may have accidentally disabled the windshield defroster and defogger controls. This software error prevents drivers from clearing their windshields during cold or humid weather conditions. Rivian is addressing this issue through an over-the-air (OTA) software update that restores the necessary system controls automatically and free of charge.
If the windshield defrosting and defogging system fails to operate, the driver's visibility can be significantly reduced while driving, which increases the risk of a crash.
