My truck which I paid cash for on Monday is sitting in the Bellevue SC. They will not release it to me because it is affected by this recall.
How did you find out? I have a paid for truck in a service center also. Haven’t heard this news, but haven’t asked guide about it either. Guide says truck needs to be inspected (tentatively inspected today) before delivery. Wonder if there is a correlation with a range of VIN’s or interior color or some other factor.

I tried looking for a recall on my VIN on NHTSA website, but it was inconclusive, and recommends checking with Rivian. So asked my Guide specifically and she said my VIN number was not affected, however there was an issue with one of the door handles that needed repair, so delivery postponed from 5-12 to 5-21. Hoping no other problems.

I do wonder if this has had anything to do with the perceived early Q2 delivery slowdown. Hard to say if there truly was a slowdown but it certainly appears that way from what we can see and this might be a partial explanation.

my guide originally told me same thing. That the truck was on a “containment hold” first he didn’t know why then said it had something to do with the passenger seat sensor. I went the SC and they were in the dark as to why it was on hold. Then I see this recall notice. My VIN ends in 3063. Yours?

Here is how you know.

Does your truck think there is someone in the passenger seat when there isn’t?

No? You are not included.

Yes? You are part of the recall.

Do you have to buckle the seat belt for the passenger NOT in your passenger front seat so the seat belt chime will stop?

No? You are not included.

Yes? You are part of the recall.

Are you on 11.2 or newer and your truck won’t go to sleep because it thinks someone is still in the vehicle even though the seat belt is NO LONGER FASTENED?

No? You are not included.

Yes? You are part of the recall.

Lastly, did you receive an email from Rivian stating that your vehicle was part of a recall?

No? You are not included.

Yes? You are part of the recall.

My "in the SC awaiting delivery" Vin is in the low 4400's, fortunately Guide just told me it is not affected by the recall, but needs minor paint correction at a body shop prior to delivery.

Are you in NC? If so, is truck coming from Richmond? Just curious as I’m in North Carolina.

For those that this recall was effected by, how long did it take to get the seats replaced? I was notified of this issue a day after signing the paperwork, no payment, which i changed to this truck because it was available! I'm trying to decide whether to stick with it or ask my guide to find me another one. Thanks
