Fastener Issue Prompts Rivian To Recall Most EVs
Rivian Automotive recalled more than 13,000 vehicles after flagging a problem with its steering system, SeekingAlpha reports.
The EV manufacturer explained that a fastener connecting the upper control arm and steering knuckle may have been installed incorrectly. If “insufficiently torqued,” the issue could create excessive wheel camber. If the nut were to separate, the vehicle would become more difficult to control.
“If you experience excessive noise, vibration or harshness from the front suspension, or a change in steering performance or feel, you should call immediately,” CEO RJ Scaringe noted in a letter to owners.
No injuries have been reported in relation to the fastener issue, according to SeekingAlpha.
The recall of the 2022 Rivian R1T, R1S, and EDV models represents about 90% of vehicles produced by the automaker thus far and more than half of its 2022 total production guidance of 25,000 vehicles.
The company previously recalled vehicles due to seatbelt anchor issues.
