2 recalls covering model years 2027. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
A fastener on the high voltage battery may not have been tightened correctly. This can cause the vehicle to lose drive power while it is being driven. Rivian will inspect the connection and repair it, or replace any damaged parts, at no cost to the owner.
In some Rivian R1S and R1T vehicles, a notification can pop up on screen and block part of the rearview camera image when the vehicle is in reverse. This can make it harder for the driver to see what is behind the vehicle while backing up.
