2023 RIVIAN R1T Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2023 Rivian R1T has 6 recalls, the most serious involving seat belts and side curtain airbags: second-row seat belt retractors may be improperly secured or installed, and pillar trim clips damaged during service can cause curtain airbags to deploy incorrectly in a crash. The seat belt issue covers two related filings describing the same underlying problem: retractors that are either loose or not properly mounted can allow the belt to loosen or detach when it needs to hold an occupant. On the airbag side, damaged attachment clips on the upper B-pillar or C-pillar trim can interfere with how the side curtain deploys. Two additional recalls address visibility: headlamps on certain vehicles may not be aimed correctly, reducing the illuminated road ahead, and a software update pushed to earlier vehicles may have disabled the windshield defroster and defogger controls entirely, leaving the driver unable to clear a fogged or iced windshield. There is also a compliance recall for an incorrect maximum load weight value on the tire placard label, which could lead to the truck being loaded beyond its safe limit.
