Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Rivian is recalling approximately 12,212 vehicles, including certain 2022 R1T, R1S, and EDV models, because a critical steering component may not have been properly tightened during assembly. Specifically, the bolt connecting the front upper control arm to the steering knuckle may be loose. This defect can lead to the parts separating, which would cause a sudden loss of steering control. Owners will be provided with a free inspection and repair at a service center.

Risk

If the loose fastener separates completely while driving, the driver will lose control of the vehicle's steering, significantly increasing the likelihood of a crash.
