Rivian recalls cars that may become difficult to handle  

January 29, 2026 Bojan Popic

Plymouth, MI – January 29, 2025 – Rivian (NASD:RIVN) is recalling 19,641 electric trucks and SUVs because they may become difficult to drive due to a suspension issue. The defect ups the risk of a crash and injury. 

The following models are affected: 

  • 2022 –  2025 Rivian R1T
  • 2022 –  2025 Rivian R1S

Recall summary

A toe link is a part of the automotive suspension that holds the wheels at the correct angle so that the vehicle goes where the driver steers it, as reported. In the affected vehicles, the rear toe link’s bolts were reassembled improperly during service. This can cause the toe link to separate while driving.  

Recall risks

A separated toe link makes the vehicle less stable and difficult to control. In fact, the recall comes on the heels of a crash with “minor injuries.”

Other Rivian recalls

In January 2026, approximately 35,000 Rivian electric delivery vans were recalled due to defective seatbelts.  

In July 2025, Rivian recalled nearly 28,000 electric trucks and SUVs whose turn signals could have failed to engage.

The repair

The dealers will replace toe link bolts free of charge.  

Notifications to the owners will be mailed by February 24, 2026.

Rivian recalls electric trucks and SUVs over inoperable turn signals 

July 8, 2025 Bojan Popic

Plymouth, MI – July 8, 2025 – Rivian (NASD:RIVN) is recalling 27,882 electric pickup trucks and SUVs whose turn signals may fail to engage. This defect makes the vehicle less visible to other drivers, upping the risk of a crash and injury. 

The following models are affected: 

  • 2025 Rivian R1S
  • 2025 Rivian R1T

Recall summary

The front turn signals of the affected vehicles may fail to illuminate when the driver engages them. This happens because of an internal flaw within the turn signal’s assembly.

The car maker is not aware of any accidents or injuries caused by this defect.  

Recall risks

With rear turn signal lights not working, other motorists may not be aware of the driver’s intention to make a turn. This can lead to a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.

Warning signs

A malfunctioning turn signal will trigger a warning message on the driver’s display. In addition, the speed of the turn signal’s blinking indicator will double.   

Other Rivian recalls

The last major Rivian recall was back in April 2023, when R1S SUVs were recalled because their reverse lights failed to illuminate when backing up.

In March 2023, Rivian recalled pickup trucks and SUVs whose front airbags did not deploy in a crash due to a defective seat belt mechanism.       

The repair

The dealers will replace the turn signals free of charge.  

The owners should receive their notifications by July 25, 2025.
