VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
- The defect
- Rivian Automotive, LLC (Rivian) is recalling certain 2022 R1T and R1S vehicles. The accelerator pedal may not detect when the driver releases the pedal, failing to activate "auto-hold" or "park" as intended.
- What it can cause
- Failure to activate "auto-hold" or "park" can result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Rivian has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update. Rivian will also replace the accelerator pedals, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 18, 2024. Owners may contact Rivian customer service at 1-888-748-4261. Rivian's number for this recall is FSAM 1342.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner. This one is fixed by a software update rather than a workshop visit.
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 7,873 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 78% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 70 complaints with NHTSA, 23 of them before this campaign was filed. 4 of those name the vehicle speed control, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V009000 (seat belts), 26V003000 (suspension), 25V370000 (seat belts), 24V458000 (equipment).
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 December 21, 2023 as campaign 23V883000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
