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).

11 June 2025

Transport Canada lists: R1S 2025–2026 · R1T 2025–2026

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front turn signal lamps may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, one or both front turn signals may not work, and the vehicles may not meet certain requirement of Canadian regulations. Note: This problem would cause a "Turn signal lights not working. Service it soon." message to be displayed.

Why it matters

Front turn signals that don't work may cause a person not to recognize when a driver intends to turn or change lanes and could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Rivian will notify owners by email and advise you to take your vehicle to a Rivian service center to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front turn signal lamps.

Why it matters

4 November 2024

Transport Canada lists: R1S 2025 · R1T 2025

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, there could be a problem with the "car costume" feature included in an over-the-air software update. Under certain conditions, using the feature could cause various exterior lights not to work properly.

Why it matters

Exterior lights that don't work properly could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Rivian has released an over-the-air software update to disable the feature and fix the issue. Rivian will notify affected owners by email. There is no further action required if your vehicle has software release 2024.39.31 or a later release.
