Rivian Recalls History
Deactivated Exterior Lighting Recall (2025)
Rivian recalled certain 2025 R1S and R1T vehicles due to a software issue where activating the "Car Costume" feature after the vehicle entered the "Ready" state could disable certain exterior lighting, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Steering Column Control Module Labeling Recall (2025)
Certain 2025 R1S vehicles were recalled because the steering column control module (SCCM) lacked cruise control markings, failing to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 101, "Controls and Displays."
Incorrect Tire Placard Label Recall (2022–2023)
Rivian recalled certain 2022–2023 R1S and R1T vehicles due to incorrect weight information on the tire placard label, which could lead to improper vehicle loading and increase the risk of a crash.
Damaged Pillar Trim Panel Clips Recall (2022–2024)
Certain 2022–2024 R1T and R1S vehicles were recalled because attachment clips on the upper B-pillar and/or C-pillar trim panels may have been damaged during service procedures. Damaged clips could result in improper side curtain airbag deployment, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
Accelerator Pedal Sensor Recall (2022)
Rivian recalled certain 2022 R1T and R1S vehicles due to a faulty accelerator pedal sensor that may not detect when the driver releases the pedal, failing to activate "auto-hold" or "park" as intended. This could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
Reverse Light Visibility Recall (2022–2023)
Certain 2022–2023 R1S vehicles were recalled because the reverse light beam may not be visible from certain angles, failing to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Reduced visibility of the reverse lights increases the risk of a crash.
Front Passenger Seat Belt System Recall (2022)
Rivian recalled certain 2022 R1T and R1S vehicles due to a faulty automatic locking retractor (ALR) sensor in the front passenger seat belt system, which may incorrectly report as ON when it is actually OFF, causing the suppression or improper deployment of the airbag.
Steering Knuckle Fastener Recall (2022)
Certain 2022 R1T, R1S, and EDV vehicles were recalled because the fastener connecting the front upper control arm and steering knuckle may have been improperly tightened. A loose steering knuckle fastener could separate, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Occupant Classification System Recall (2022)
Rivian recalled certain 2022 R1T vehicles because the Occupant Classification System (OCS) may not deactivate the airbag when a child or child seat occupies the front passenger seat.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lemon Law
What types of vehicles are covered under California's Lemon Law?
The law covers new and used vehicles sold or leased in California that come with the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty. This includes cars, pickup trucks, vans, SUVs, the chassis, chassis cab, and drive train of motor homes, dealer-owned vehicles, demonstrators, and vehicles purchased or leased primarily for personal, family, household, or certain business purposes.
What constitutes a "reasonable" number of repair attempts under the Lemon Law?
California’s Lemon Law presumes a reasonable number of repair attempts if, within 18 months or 18,000 miles (whichever comes first) after purchase or lease:
- The manufacturer or dealer hasn’t fixed the same problem after four or more attempts.
- The vehicle’s issues could cause death or serious injury if driven, and there have been at least two unsuccessful repair attempts.
The vehicle has been out of service for more than 30 days (not necessarily consecutive) for warranty-covered problems.
Does the Lemon Law apply to used vehicles?
Yes, the Lemon Law applies to used vehicles that are still under the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty. This includes certified pre-owned vehicles sold with such warranties.
What remedies are available if my vehicle qualifies under the Lemon Law?
If your vehicle qualifies, the manufacturer must either replace the vehicle or refund its purchase price, depending on your preference.
Do I need to go to court to resolve a Lemon Law claim?
Not necessarily. Many manufacturers offer state-certified arbitration programs to resolve disputes. If such a program is available, you must request arbitration to claim the benefits of the Lemon Law presumption. You can accept or reject the arbitrator’s decision.
Does the Lemon Law apply to leased vehicles?
Yes, the Lemon Law covers leased vehicles that come with the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty
How long do I have to file a Lemon Law claim in California?
You have four years from the date of the breach of warranty to file a lawsuit under the California Lemon Law.
