Buying a used 2022 Rivian EDV? Check these 2 recalls first
This commercial van carries two open safety campaigns: a critical loose steering bolt affecting Rivian trucks and SUVs, and a damaged driver's seat belt tensioner cable specific to the EDV. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Complaint volume is very low — seven filings with NHTSA, none reporting a crash, fire, or injury — but five of the seven concern seat belts, echoing the tensioner recall. Those owner complaints are unverified reports, not confirmed defects.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Run the VIN and confirm the critical steering bolt recall was actually performed, not just mailed
- Ask for paperwork showing the driver's seat belt tensioner cable was inspected or replaced
- Latch, tug, and fully retract both front belts during the walkaround and watch for belt warning lights
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Rivian dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
