Comprehensive Inspection Includes?

[Steve A.]

I saw some similar posts about getting the Comprehensive Inspection before their warranty was up but I didn't find where anyone who got it done actually listed what it included, so I thought I'd post it below for anyone else who was wondering what they got for $282, since I was pretty impressed with the list of items they checked and feel it was well worth the investment at 59k miles.

I had mobile service come to the house 4 days ago to repair the tunnel door emergency escape switch that has failed. The technician did not have the required part (not sure why he came to the house) but as part of his visit he did a Quick inspection involving a look under and around the vehicle and found both front CV joint boots leaking. Lots of grease has been slung out of the boot all over the brake caliper and into the brake shoes and also a thick layer of grease has dried onto the inside of both front wheels. It was very obvious the boots were leaking and had I been aware of a potential problem it would have been an easy inspection to spot it. My R1T has 36,000 miles on it and I have never off roaded with it. All paved road travel. Both axles need to be replaced but I have to deliver the truck to the service center to get the work done. Rivian has to order the latch for the tunnel door and will replace that at the same time. First appoint available was 3 February. I plan to insist that the brake calipers be remove, cleaned, and inspected for pad contamination. It's easy to spot the grease coming out of the boots so I would recommend that you do this inspection to get ahead of the problem. Just look at the lower inside of the boot where it seals around the CV joint and if it's leaking there will be obvious signs of grease coming out of the boot. I put new tires on my Rivian in April 2025 when I changed out my winter snow tires, I do the change out at home, and if the boots were leaking at that time I know I would have noticed it. So the leaks started some time between April and December Last year or between mileage 30 to 36 K.

Well, I also took it in since I also had the *tic toc* clicking coming from the front when

Well, I'm far from the usual Rivian fanboi apologists which are hyper defensive of any Rivian criticism (every knows who they are) but I will say that you don't have to go off-road to have that issue. I've experienced that on a couple other ICEVs other the years thanks to potholes. I even bent a $2,200 22" rim on my F-150 Limited and blew the tire on a country road which is why I had 2nd thoughts about getting 22s on my R1S.

Thank you for the 411

 

[longterm ev supporter]

A lot of tire stuff and alignment stuff but I don’t know of any warrantee that cover those

 

[beatle]

Yeah, kinda seems like a waste of time and almost $300 to me, though it could be worth it if your washer fluid is low. The suspension inspection could pay off if they find something like a leaky damper, excessive play in the halfshafts, or some hydraulic issue, or if they can ascertain if you have any leaks in the air system, but I doubt they go to that level of scrutiny. Most of these checks are just for normal wear items that wouldn't be covered by warranty. They might also already be checked as part of a regular state safety inspection (though MD doesn't do those annually). I had Gemini remove all the duplicative items. Suspension shows in the original list 4 times:

Exterior & Access

• Left Front Charge Port: Verify door operation and inspect for damage or foreign materials. If charging, verify charge port latch operation.
• Doors & Windows: (Applies to all doors) Verify operation and inspect for wear, fitment, sealing issues, chips, cracks, or etching.
• Gear Tunnel Doors: Verify operation and inspect for wear, fitment, or sealing issues.
• Tailgate: Verify operation and inspect for wear, fitment, or sealing issues.
• Windshield: Inspect for chips, cracks, or etching.
• Front & Rear Exterior Lighting: For all lights; verify operation and inspect for damage, etching, or water ingress.

Wheels, Tires & Brakes (All Corners)

• Tire Inflation: Measure pressure and adjust to tire placard as needed.
• Tire Tread: Measure minimum depth and inspect for abnormal wear.
• Wheel and Tire: Inspect for damage or foreign objects.
• Brake Pads: Measure thickness and inspect for abnormal wear.
• Suspension: * Wheel Mounted: Inspect for excessive suspension play (tire off ground).
  • Wheel Removed: Inspect subframe, control arms, halfshaft, springs, dampers, brake hoses/lines, calipers, hub, bushings, and ball joints for damage, leaks, or misaligned torque marks.
• Spare Tire (if equipped): Verify inflation (full size only) and inspect for damage.

Interior & Systems

• Floor Mats: Verify retention and inspect for wear, fraying, or discoloration.
• Seatbelts: Verify operation and inspect for wear.
• Horn: Verify operation.
• Displays: Verify operation and inspect for damage (Instrument cluster and center display).
• Telltales or Warnings: Inspect and advise customer of next steps.
• Surround View Camera: Verify operation.
• Windshield Washer/Wiper: Verify operation, spray pattern, and inspect blade wear.

Under Hood

• Windshield Washer Fluid: Replenish.
• Coolant: Verify level.
• Brake Fluid: Verify level.

Test Drive & Final Measurements

• Steering: Verify operation without binding.
• Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH): Test for drivability concerns from body, subframe, steering, brakes, suspension, etc.
• Park Brake: Verify operation.
• ADAS Operation: Verify lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control.
• Final Tire Pressures: LF: 48 | RF: 48 | RR: 48 | LR: 48 (PSI).
• Final Tread Depths: LF: 10/32 | RF: 9/32 | RR: 11/32 | LR: 11/32.

They list each wheel and corresponding suspension separately LF LR RF RR
I just paid for it at 59300 something miles and they found front seals leaking and replaced them at about $400 each
I look at it as $300 warranty expiration check out that IMHO was well worth it

Edit to add picture this is one of three for the R1T

Thanks for sharing. shouldn't the front seals leak be covered under warranty?

 

[RivianRiverRat]

You are correct
The billable cost was the $400 but it was covered under warranty by Rivian
