2022–2023 Rivian R1S, Rivian R1T: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 23V783000 · 1,463 units potentially affected · filed Nov 21, 2023
What's wrong
Rivian Automotive, LLC (Rivian) is recalling certain 2022-2023 R1T and R1S vehicles. A software update may have deactivated the defroster and defogger system controls.
Why it matters
The inability to operate the windshield defrosting and defogging system can decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Rivian has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 21, 2023. Owners may contact Rivian customer service at 1-888-748-4261. Rivian's number for this recall is FSAM-1331.
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.
