Buying a used 2023 Rivian R1T? Check these 8 recalls first
The 2023 R1T has 8 recalls in this group. Airbag trim clips, front seat belt anchors, loose second-row belts and possible rear toe link separation are the main attachment-related concerns. Defroster failure also merits attention, with headlight aim, backup camera display and a weight label completing the list. NHTSA records 41 unverified owner complaints: airbags appear in 14, electrical systems in 7, and unknown or other and service brakes in 5 each.
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 airbag trim clip and front and second-row belt repair records.
- Confirm rear toe link recall completion by VIN.
- Test the defroster and ask about brake faults or electrical warnings.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Rivian dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
