Buying a used 2024 Rivian R1S? Check these 6 recalls first
Six recalls, mostly carryovers from earlier years: curtain airbag trim clips, loose front seat belt anchors, loose seat belt bolts, a rear suspension link that may come apart, headlights aimed incorrectly, and a missing dashboard airbag warning label. None carry stop-driving or park-outside instructions. Seventeen NHTSA complaints is modest, but five involve crashes and one an injury, and the leading complaint areas — suspension, vehicle speed control, and forward collision avoidance — partly overlap the suspension recall. Those complaints are unverified.
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.
- Confirm the rear suspension link recall was completed and have the rear links inspected on a lift
- Verify both seat belt campaigns (anchors and bolts) show as remedied for this VIN
- Check headlight aim at night and confirm the dashboard airbag warning label is present
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Rivian dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
