- What the dealer does
- Rivian will inspect and repair the connection or replace damaged components as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 28, 2026. Owners may contact Rivian customer service at 1-888-748-4261. Rivian's number for this recall is FSAM-1888.

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 14 vehicles this is a small campaign: 89% of the 19,844 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers one model year, 2027, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Rivian vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 3 times before this, most recently in September 2025 as 25V585000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 26V597000 (back over prevention).
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 September 29, 2026 as campaign 26V625000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
