Updated with NHTSA recall document and official Rivian website info:
NHTSA Recall: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V233-4885.PDF
Rivian site: https://rivian.com/support/article/When-will-Rivian-offer-the-updated-backup-lamp-lenses-for-R1S
https://www.carscoops.com/2023/04/r...-new-backup-light-design-to-meet-regulations/
The issue affects 5,030 R1Ss built between November 19, 2021, and March 21, 2023. These were shipped with reverse lights that do not meet federal regulations. Although the light will shine, the optical center of the lamps may not be adequately visible to satisfy the Department of Transportation’s requirements.
The company was made aware that the reverse lights on the R1S are non-compliant on March 8, 2023. Although the SUV’s taillights appear to be similar in design to its sister vehicle, the R1T pickup, it is the only model affected by this recall. We have reached out to Rivian for more information on that score, and will update this story when we hear back.
The automaker says it has revised the design of the vehicle’s taillights, and will install the new units in vehicles affected by this issue. Rivian will start reaching out to customers on May 20 to alert them to the existence of the recall campaign.
