What's wrong, in plain English

Rivian is recalling certain 2022 R1T trucks. The system in the front passenger seat that senses who is sitting there may fail to switch off the passenger airbag when a child or a child seat is in that seat. Because of this, these trucks do not meet the federal rule for occupant crash protection. Rivian service centers will replace the front passenger seat at no cost to the owner.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your truck is included.
2. Contact a Rivian service center to have the front passenger seat replaced, or call Rivian customer service at 1-734-855-4345 (recall number FSAM-651).
3. The repair is free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V319000.
