EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
- The defect
- Rivian Automotive, LLC. (Rivian) is recalling certain 2023-2024 EDV, R1S, and R1T vehicles. The headlights may be improperly aimed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamp, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Improperly aimed headlights can result in insufficient illumination of the road, decreasing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Rivian will inspect and adjust the headlight alignment as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 28, 2024. Owners may contact Rivian customer service at 1-888-748-4264. Rivian's number for this recall is FSAM-1445.
- 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.
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 2,334 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Rivian vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting once before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V233000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 5 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 150 complaints with NHTSA, 55 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the exterior lighting, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2023, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V009000 (seat belts), 26V003000 (suspension), 25V816000 (seat belts), 25V370000 (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 May 23, 2024 as campaign 24V367000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
