Rivian has recalled 12,212 electric vehicles due to a potentially loose suspension fastener. The company filed paperwork with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to alert owners of the problem. The company sent messages to customers on Friday informing them of the recall. The company says there have been no reports of injuries related to the problem.
Rivian recalls 12,212 electric vehicles
Rivian Automotive Inc. is recalling more than a dozen hundred electric vehicles due to a potentially loose suspension. The problem can cause the driver to lose steering control. The company says it will inspect the recalled vehicles and make repairs if necessary. The recall has no financial impact on customers.
A potentially loose suspension fastener is the main cause of the recall, and Rivian is fixing the problem for free. The recall affects a total of 12,212 electric vehicles, including the R1T pickup trucks and R1S SUVs. The fastener connects the front upper control arm to the steering knuckle. The fastener may not be properly torqued, causing the driver to lose steering control.
Fastener in front suspension is loose
Rivian is recalling certain electric vehicles due to a potentially loose front suspension fastener. If this fastener fails, the vehicle may lose control of the steering, potentially leading to a crash. Drivers may also experience excessive noise, vibration, or harshness while driving. Rivian promises free repairs for affected vehicles and will contact affected owners.
The recall involves nearly all Rivian electric vehicles. The problem stems from an insufficiently torqued fastener that attaches the front upper control arm to the steering knuckle. This may cause the vehicle to lose steering control and make the car difficult to control. Fortunately, no injuries or damages have been reported as a result of this problem.
Production has been delayed
Rivian, the maker of the Rivian Electric Vehicle, has been forced to delay production due to a potential problem with the vehicle’s suspension. The problem affects the fastener that connects the front upper-control arm to the steering knuckle. The company has received seven reports of this issue, which have prompted the company to recall all affected vehicles. The company is offering a partial refund to customers who have pre-ordered the vehicle.
The production of the Rivian R1S electric SUV and pickup truck have both been delayed due to the potentially loose suspension. This is particularly unfortunate considering that the company is positioning their vehicles as adventure vehicles. In fact, the company has released a rare video showing the R1S off-roading. The company expects the vehicle to travel 300 miles on a single charge.
Delivery vans for Amazon have been delayed
Rivian’s production of electric delivery vans for Amazon has been delayed for the second time this month due to a potentially loose suspension. While the company is promising that the delivery vans will be ready by the end of the year, the company has also pushed back the date of the first deliveries of the R1T pickup truck. While the delay has put the delivery van’s release further off than expected, the company claims that the delivery vans will be on schedule and will be ready for a September delivery.
The suspension of the Rivian electric delivery vans has a potentially loose fastener. This can interfere with the ability of the driver to control the vehicle. This issue affects nearly every vehicle in Rivian’s lineup, including pickup trucks and SUVs. The company has already recalled nearly one-third of the vehicles in its lineup.
