9Rivian year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 286 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the air bags than any other system: 54 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2023 R1S, with 72.
NHTSA holds 23 recall campaigns naming Rivian vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here. 1 defect investigation into these vehicles is open and unresolved.
Most complained-about Rivian models
Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.
What goes wrong on a Rivian
The systems named most often across every Rivian complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
