Rivian Automotive, LLC: 2022-2023 R1S Vehicles Recalled for Reduced Reverse Light Visibility

Agency Publication Date: March 31, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Rivian Automotive is recalling approximately 5,030 of its 2022-2023 R1S vehicles because the reverse light beam may not be visible from certain angles. This defect means the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for lighting equipment and may fail to alert other drivers or pedestrians when the vehicle is backing up. Rivian will repair or replace the affected reverse light assemblies free of charge to ensure they are visible from all required angles.

Risk

If the reverse lights are not visible to others, it significantly reduces the vehicle's visibility when moving backward, which increases the likelihood of a collision with other vehicles or pedestrians.
