My tire inflator is missing one of ball bearing

[tosehee]

I bought used from previous owner so I don’t think this is necessarily Rivian’s fault.

Anyhow my quick connector is missing one of the ball bearing. I took a picture with ball bearing but is missing one of five balls.

Anyone know the specs for this or what I need to get?

much appreciated

Does it still function as expected? If so, I would ignore it.

If not, will Rivian replace it under warranty?

If not, here is one option: https://rivian.com/gear-shop/p/aux-air-compressor-kit

I can’t inflate above 41 psi. I don’t know if it came as is from Rivian or the previous owner played with it and lost.

either way I don’t need to replace the whole thing. Just need to put the missing ball

You are not going to be able to replace the ball. It's a standard air connector, just buy a new hose.

I haven't looked, but can you remove the coupler fitting and replace the coupler fitting - it's probably $5? I'm betting it's not screwed on but rather permanently attached.

Create a service ticket in your app with a pic of the ball bearing missing. Say it's not holding tightly. Accessories are covered under warranty. This is a manufacturing defect.

Thx

looks like I can detach the coupling and insert the ball. I will reach out to service for suggestion.

thx again
