Rivian mentioned that the system in a few of its upscale R1T electrical pickups could fail to work correctly, placing a toddler within the entrance seat of an R1T at a higher danger of harm in a collision.
Rivian’s service facilities will exchange the entrance passenger seats in affected autos freed from cost. House owners of affected autos will obtain letters by July 1, the corporate mentioned. Within the meantime, R1T homeowners can verify if their car is affected by coming into their car identification quantity on the NHTSA’s recall site.
