Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada lists: R1S 2023–2025 · R1T 2023–2025

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the second-row outboard seat belt retractor(s) may not have been installed properly. As a result, the seat belts could loosen or detach in a crash.

Why it matters

A seat belt that detaches in a crash could increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Rivian recommends that you shouldn't transport passengers in the second-row outboard seats until the recall repairs are completed. Rivian will notify owners by email and advise you to take your vehicle to a Rivian service center to inspect and, if necessary, secure the seat belt retractor(s).

Common questions

Does the 2024 Rivian R1S have any recalls?
Transport Canada has 3 recalls on record for the 2024 Rivian R1S. Recall repairs are almost always free at a manufacturer dealer.
What fuel economy does the 2024 Rivian R1S get?
NRCan rates the 2024 Rivian R1S at 27.8 kWh/100 km combined, with a rated range of 549 km.
What does it cost to run a 2024 Rivian R1S for a year?
At 16,249 km a year and Ontario average prices, about $655 in electricity, producing roughly 158 kg of CO2. Ontario is time-of-use, so charging is billed at whichever rate applies when you plug in — the real cost is usually higher than this average. Your own distance and prices will change this — the calculator lets you set both.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
