Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 12,212 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 81% of the 16,299 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 86 complaints with NHTSA, 4 of them before this campaign was filed. 17 of those name the suspension, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V597000 (back over prevention), 26V009000 (seat belts), 26V003000 (suspension), 25V816000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Rivian Automotive, LLC with NHTSA on October 6, 2022 as campaign 22V744000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
