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.
- Verify drive-power and Highway Assist recall completion by VIN.
- Request rear toe link and front and second-row seat belt repair records.
- Confirm lighting recall repairs, cold-weather headlight operation and camera function.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Rivian dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
