Rivian is recalling 2022 R1T vehicles with faulty seat belt sensors that may prevent airbag deployment during crashes. Owners must contact Rivian for free repairs by April 5, 2023.
Failure of the air bag to deploy as intended increases the risk of injury to the front passenger during a crash.
Rivian is recalling certain 2022 R1T electric trucks because a seat belt sensor might not deploy the front passenger airbag properly during a crash. This could increase injury risk if the airbag fails to activate when needed.
A faulty seat belt sensor may incorrectly report as 'ON' when it's actually 'OFF'. This can cause the airbag to suppress or deploy improperly during a crash, failing to protect the front passenger.
