Rivian Automotive expanded a safety recall to include nearly 4,000 R1S and R1T electric vehicles. The expansion affects models from the 2025 and 2026 model years.
Front turn signals in these vehicles may fail to illuminate. This defect increases the risk of a crash.
Rivian initiated the expansion after a supplier failed to properly quarantine defective components from a previous recall campaign. This failure raises questions regarding Rivian's supply chain management and quality control during its production scale-up.
Affected vehicles require a service appointment to replace the faulty lamp assemblies.
