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.
- Obtain passenger airbag, sensor and seat belt recall completion records.
- Verify steering fastener and rear toe link repairs; review suspension history.
- Test the defroster and ask about pedal glitches or collision-avoidance events.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Rivian dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
