Rivian Automotive, LLC: 2022 R1T and R1S Recalled for Improperly Secured Front Seat Belt Anchors

Agency Publication Date: August 25, 2022

Summary

Rivian Automotive is recalling 207 of its 2022 R1T and R1S vehicles because the front seat belt anchors may not be properly attached to the vehicle's B-pillar. This defect means the seat belt could fail to hold an occupant securely in place during a collision. Owners can have their front seat belt assemblies inspected and repaired by a service center for free.

Risk
