On the 2022 Rivian R1S, recall 23V109 concerns out-of-tolerance front-passenger belt sensors that can incorrectly report automatic-locking-retractor status and alter airbag deployment. The airbag may deploy with reduced force or not deploy as intended, increasing occupant injury risk. The filing covers 12,716 combined 2022 R1S/R1T vehicles built September 10, 2021–September 15, 2022; it does not mean every vehicle in that interval is affected. Some scenarios have no warning; others may illuminate PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF.

Common Symptoms

  • No warning in some affected scenarios
  • Unexpected PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indication with a passenger seated

How to Fix

Have Rivian verify eligibility and inspect the front-passenger belt system, replacing affected components as required under the free recall. Do not use a belt-pull test or absence of a warning to declare the sensor safe. Report an unexpected passenger-airbag status indication to Rivian and arrange service. For children, follow the vehicle and restraint instructions for permitted seating positions, installation and size limits; NHTSA recommends rear seating through age 12. A recall check is not child-seat installation approval.

On the 2022-2025 Rivian R1S, rivian has filed this defect twice. In 2022, recall 22V641 covered improperly secured front seat belt anchors on 2022 vehicles. It recurred: recall 25V370, filed June 2025, covers certain 2022-2025 R1T and R1S vehicles on which the D-ring bolts for one or both front seat belt anchorage assemblies may not have been properly installed during manufacturing. The D-ring is the upper shoulder anchor on the B-pillar - the point that carries the belt load across the occupant's chest in a frontal crash. If its bolt is not torqued, the anchor can pull through or rotate under crash load and the belt will not restrain the occupant as designed, so the belt looks and latches completely normally in daily use while failing in the one moment it matters. The 25V370 population is 358 R1S and 178 R1T vehicles. Rivian reported no crashes, injuries or fatalities tied to the condition.

Common Symptoms

  • Possible rattling from the seat-belt D-ring area on the B-pillar
  • There may be no obvious symptom; absence of a rattle does not establish recall completion

How to Fix

Free remedy: under NHTSA recall 25V370 Rivian inspects and properly secures the front seat belt anchorage assembly at no charge; Rivian's number for this recall is FSAM-1681. Check recall eligibility and completion by VIN rather than relying on belt feel. A loose anchorage may rattle near the B-pillar, but absence of a rattle does not clear the vehicle. Owners who hear a rattle or knock from the upper B-pillar area should stop using the front seats until inspected.

On the 2022-2026 Rivian R1S, on certain vehicles the retractor bolt for the second-row driver-side and/or passenger-side seat belt retractor may not have been properly installed during manufacturing. The retractor is the spool that locks the belt under crash deceleration; if its mounting bolt is not torqued, the retractor can shift or tear free under load and the belt will not restrain the occupant as intended. Recall 26V009 covers 2022-2025 R1T and 2022-2026 R1S vehicles, a population of 869, built in a manufacturing window running September 15, 2021 through May 15, 2025. This second-row retractor-anchorage campaign is separate from the front anchorage campaigns and from 23V109, which concerns an out-of-tolerance front-passenger belt sensor rather than a loose fastener. A rattle near the C-pillar has been cited as the one observable hint that a retractor bolt is loose.

Common Symptoms

  • Possible rattle from the left or right C-pillar near a second-row belt retractor
  • Absence of a rattle does not establish that the vehicle is outside the recall

How to Fix

Free remedy: under NHTSA recall 26V009 Rivian inspects and, where necessary, re-secures the second-row seat belt retractor assemblies at no charge. Owner notification letters were expected by March 9, 2026, and service is scheduled through Rivian support channels. VIN-check rather than waiting, particularly on a used purchase. If you hear a rattle or knocking from the C-pillar area near the second-row belt when driving over rough surfaces, treat it as a possible loose retractor and have it inspected under this campaign rather than dismissing it as trim noise.

On the 2022-2024 Rivian R1S, two distinct recalls can affect R1S curtain-airbag performance. 23V159 covers 30 model-year 2022–2023 R1S vehicles built October 28, 2022–January 21, 2023 with potentially insecure curtain-airbag fasteners. 24V408 covers 1,723 combined 2022–2024 R1S/R1T vehicles and concerns trim panels removed and reused during service, potentially damaging attachment clips. For R1S, upper B- and/or C-pillar trim is implicated. Its selection depends on service records, not merely model year or any prior trim removal. Both defects can increase injury risk in a crash; the filings do not specify a reliable owner-visible warning.

How to Fix

Ask Rivian to check both VIN eligibility and service history. Under 23V159, inspect and secure the curtain-airbag fasteners and replace components as necessary. Under 24V408, replace the affected pillar trim panels with new parts. Recall work is free for eligible vehicles. Do not remove restraint-area trim or rely on reseating it as proof of campaign completion; have Rivian assess a loose panel and the applicable repair.

On the 2022 Rivian R1S, recall 23V883 / FSAM 1342 concerns early accelerator pedals in certain 2022 R1S/R1T vehicles. At very high cabin temperatures, sensor drift may leave a nonzero pedal reading after release, interfering with automatic Hold or Park. Extreme cases can creep slowly and increase crash risk. The filing lists 7,873 combined vehicles built June 10, 2021–October 31, 2022. These effects are conditional, not inevitable whenever the cabin warms.

Common Symptoms

  • Automatic Hold or Park may fail to engage
  • Vehicle may fail to enter sleep mode
  • Possible pedal-malfunction indication
  • Very slow creep in extreme cases

How to Fix

Have Rivian check current software and complete the applicable free recall actions. The filing identifies software 2023.46.01 or 2023.50 as eliminating this safety risk and also commits to replacing the affected pedals. The January 2024 procedure checks software, updates if needed, then replaces the pedal; software risk reduction does not mean the scheduled hardware work should be skipped. If automatic Hold or Park fails, use the brake and Park control as instructed and seek service. Confirm Park before exiting rather than relying solely on automatic engagement or cabin temperature.

On the 2022-2025 Rivian R1S, two separate NHTSA recalls on the R1S were caused not by hardware but by over-the-air updates that removed working safety functions, which makes software release quality a documented defect mechanism on this vehicle rather than an inconvenience. In recall 23V783 (Rivian FSAM-1331), OTA update 2023.42.0 pushed on November 13, 2023 left in-vehicle defroster and defogger controls and functionality temporarily unavailable during driving on 1,463 2022-2023 R1T and R1S vehicles - the driver could not clear a fogged or iced windshield. In recall 24V827 (Rivian FSAM-1552), software 2024.39.30 on 5,128 2025 R1T and R1S vehicles could prevent certain exterior lights from turning on when the 'Car Costume' display feature was activated, leaving the vehicle unlit and less visible to other traffic.

Common Symptoms

  • Defroster and defogger controls unavailable or unresponsive
  • Windshield cannot be cleared of fog or ice
  • Exterior lights do not turn on

How to Fix

Both remedies were free over-the-air software updates. For 23V783, Rivian shipped 2023.42.02 on November 15, 2023 restoring defroster control, and Rivian reported all 1,463 affected vehicles remedied by November 19, 2023 - no owner action is required. For 24V827, Rivian released a free over-the-air software update; owner notification letters were expected to be mailed December 18, 2024. The practical lesson for owners is to check that safety functions - defroster, exterior lights, wipers - still work after every OTA install rather than assuming an update only adds features, and to report a regression through the Rivian app immediately so it enters the defect record.

On the 2022-2023 Rivian R1S, rivian RCA-34-23-002-1 addresses certain US 2022–2023 R1S vehicles, approximately built December 2022–March 2023. A faulty onboard-charger component can disable AC charging while DC fast charging remains functional. Build dates are approximate; ServiceOS Open Containments determines campaign involvement.

Common Symptoms

  • AC charging unavailable while DC fast charging remains functional

How to Fix

Ask Rivian to verify the VIN's campaign status and current coverage. Eligible vehicles receive an onboard-charger replacement under the service procedure. This customer-satisfaction campaign does not establish a diagnosis for DC dropouts, connector-lock faults or every AC charging failure.

On the 2022 Rivian R1S, recall 22V744 / FSAM 997 covers certain 2022 R1S vehicles whose front upper-control-arm/steering-knuckle fasteners may be insufficiently tightened. Excessive wheel camber or joint separation can impair control and increase crash risk. The filing lists 12,212 vehicles across R1S, R1T and EDV, not 12,212 R1S vehicles. It identifies possible front-suspension noise, vibration or harshness and changes in steering feel; it does not establish a fixed symptom sequence.

Common Symptoms

  • Excessive front-suspension noise, vibration or harshness
  • Changed steering performance or feel
  • Excessive wheel camber or, in severe cases, joint separation

How to Fix

Ask Rivian to verify VIN eligibility and repair history. For affected vehicles, Rivian inspects and properly secures the steering-knuckle fasteners, replacing components when necessary. Discuss any steering change or visible wheel misalignment with service before further driving; do not treat a simple retorque as a substitute for the required inspection. Tire replacement, alignment work and any charges require a condition-specific assessment rather than automatic replacement of every unevenly worn tire.

On the 2022-2025 Rivian R1S, the rear toe link joint on the R1 skateboard is unusually sensitive to how it is serviced. When the joint is separated and reassembled using Rivian's pre-March-2025 service procedure, the clamping bolt can later fracture in use and the toe link can separate from the knuckle. Because the toe link controls the horizontal (toe) angle of the rear wheel, a separation lets the rear wheel steer itself, producing a sudden lane departure at speed. Rivian filed recall 26V003 in January 2026 covering 19,641 R1T and R1S vehicles that had received toe link service before the improved procedure was published, and reported one crash with alleged minor injuries. NHTSA then opened preliminary evaluation PE26004 in May 2026 covering 114,922 R1S and R1T vehicles from 2022-2025 after two Vehicle Owner Questionnaires described left-rear toe link separation on 2023-2024 R1S vehicles; in both the bolt that holds the joint together had fractured, and one ended in a collision with an adjacent vehicle and a roadside barrier. The probe is examining whether the joint is sensitive to ordinary road and service conditions, not just to the old repair method, so the population at risk may be far larger than the recalled set. The preliminary evaluation covers 2022–2025 R1S and R1T vehicles; it does not establish that every vehicle or both generations share an identical defective joint.

Common Symptoms

  • Sudden toe link separation without prior warning
  • Sudden pull or lane departure without steering input
  • Loss of vehicle control

How to Fix

Free remedy exists for serviced vehicles: under NHTSA recall 26V003 (Rivian FSAM-1794) Rivian replaces the rear toe link bolts at no charge; Rivian's filing planned owner notification on or before February 24, 2026. Check your VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup or in the Rivian app even if you bought used, because the recall is keyed to vehicles that received toe link service rather than to a build window. Rivian's filing says separation can occur without prior warning, so do not wait for symptoms - do not drive a vehicle with a suspected separated toe link. If your vehicle has had any rear suspension or toe link service performed before March 2025, ask the service center in writing whether the updated torque-and-replace procedure was used and whether the bolt was replaced rather than reused.

On the 2022-2023 Rivian R1S, recall 23V233 / FSAM 1216 covers 5,030 model-year 2022–2023 R1S vehicles built November 19, 2021–March 21, 2023. Their backup lamps illuminate, but the optical center may not be visible from all required horizontal and vertical viewing planes under FMVSS 108. This is a lamp-visibility compliance issue that may increase crash risk, not proof of inadequate illumination of the road behind the vehicle. The filing lists R1S; it does not establish how all R1T lighting parts differ.

Common Symptoms

  • Backup lamps illuminate but may not meet required viewing-angle visibility

How to Fix

Have Rivian verify VIN eligibility and repair history and perform the applicable free backup-lamp repair or replacement using the revised design. A working lamp does not rule out this viewing-angle noncompliance. Ask service about the current repair and appointment duration rather than relying on an unverified under-one-hour estimate.

On the 2022-2024 Rivian R1S, rivian RSB-93-24-001-2 addresses excessive A/C noise or vibration on certain 2022–2024 R1S vehicles, approximately January 2022–April 2024 builds. It describes these vehicles as safely functioning as designed and offers a line-bracket retrofit, with harness work where needed.

Common Symptoms

  • Excessive cabin A/C noise or vibration within the bulletin scope
