2025 RIVIAN R1S Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2025 Rivian R1S has 11 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage electrical connection inside the power distribution system that can cause a sudden loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion. The Hands-Free Highway Assist system has a separate recall: under certain software versions, it can fail to detect a vehicle ahead, removing the automatic braking response a driver might be relying on. On the restraint side, the D-ring bolts securing one or both front seatbelt assemblies may not have been properly installed, which can prevent the belt from holding an occupant in a crash. Lighting is a recurring theme across several recalls: the front turn signals can fail to flash, and the headlights can fail to turn on in cold weather, both reducing how visible the vehicle is to other drivers. A software feature called Car Costume can also inadvertently disable exterior lights when activated. There is also a compliance recall for steering column controls on certain vehicles where cruise control markings are missing from the stalk. Finally, vehicles that had suspension service performed before March 2025 may have a toe link that was reassembled incorrectly and can separate, affecting steering and wheel alignment at speed.
