AIR BAGS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Rivian Automotive, LLC (Rivian) is recalling certain 2022-2024 R1T and R1S vehicles. The attachment clips on the upper B-pillar and/or C-pillar trim panels may have been damaged during a service procedure.
- What it can cause
- Damaged pillar trim panel clips can result in improper side curtain air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Rivian will replace the pillar trim panels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 16, 2024. Owners may contact Rivian customer service at 1-888-748-4261. Rivian's number for this recall is FSAM 1464.
- 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 1,723 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 64% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Rivian vehicles have been recalled over the air bags once before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V159000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 205 complaints with NHTSA, 85 of them before this campaign was filed. 53 of those name the air bags, 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 14 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 June 5, 2024 as campaign 24V408000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
