2022 Rivian R1T and R1S Seat Belt Anchor Attachment Recall

Rivian is recalling certain 2022 R1T and R1S vehicles because front seat belt anchors may be inadequately attached to the B-pillar, potentially preventing proper restraint during a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting a critical safety component (seat belt anchorage system). While no injuries or deaths have been reported, the potential for serious harm in crash scenarios warrants a high-risk classification.
