Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking for 2022-2023 Rivian R1T or R1S models.
  2. Check your vehicle's infotainment screen for a pending over-the-air (OTA) software update and ensure it is installed to restore the defroster and defogger controls.
  3. Contact Rivian customer service at 1-888-748-4261 and reference recall number FSAM-1331 if you have questions about the software update or have not received a notification.
  4. Call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information regarding this recall (NHTSA campaign number 23V783).
