Buying a used 2023 Rivian R1T? Check these 7 recalls first

7 NHTSA recalls · 38 owner complaints on file

Seven recalls, none critical and none carrying stop-driving or park-outside instructions: disabled windshield defroster controls, curtain airbag trim clips, loose front seat belt anchors, loose seat belt bolts, a rear suspension link that may come apart, misaimed headlights, and an incorrect weight-limit label. Thirty-eight NHTSA complaints were filed — 3 crashes, 1 fire, no injuries — with airbags the single largest area at 14, followed by electrical system and service brakes. Those complaints are unverified owner reports.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Confirm the curtain airbag trim clip and both seat belt campaigns show as remedied for this VIN
3. Test the defroster controls and brake feel on the drive, since both appear in the recall or complaint record
4. Check the door-jamb weight-limit label against the corrected one and ask if the label recall was addressed
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Rivian dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
