Buying a used 2022 Rivian R1S? Check these 13 recalls first
The 2022 R1S has 13 recalls in this group, with restraint hardware and airbag operation standing out alongside a loose steering fastener and possible rear toe link separation. Accelerator pedal and defroster issues also deserve attention; the remaining items include camera visibility, reverse lights and a weight label. The 4 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, with 3 involving seats and 2 involving airbags. Those categories can overlap and do not establish a defect in a particular vehicle.
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.
- Request completion records for seat belt anchor, sensor and airbag recalls.
- Verify steering fastener and rear toe link recall repairs by VIN.
- Check defroster operation and ask about accelerator pedal glitches.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Rivian dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
