SEAT BELTS:PRETENSIONER
- The defect
- Rivian Automotive, LLC (Rivian) is recalling certain 2022-2025 EDV vehicles. The driver's seat belt pretensioner cable may become damaged.
- What it can cause
- A damaged seat belt pretensioner cable may not restrain the occupant as intended, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Rivian has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update. In addition Rivian will inspect and replace the driver's seat belt pretensioner assembly as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 16, 2026. Owners may contact Rivian customer service at 1-888-748-4261. Rivian's number for this recall is FSAM-1770.
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 34,824 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 87% 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 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Rivian vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 3 times before this, most recently in June 2025 as 25V370000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 22 complaints with NHTSA, 10 of them before this campaign was filed. 15 of those name the seat belts, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in February 2023, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V367000 (exterior lighting), 22V744000 (suspension).
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 November 25, 2025 as campaign 25V816000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
