This video thoroughly explains Rivian's recent recall affecting all 12,212 R1T and R1S vehicles. The core issue identified is an insufficiently torqued fastener for the front upper control arm, which could lead to loosening and, in rare cases, separation of the wheel. The reviewer details the official recall notice and a personal letter from CEO RJ Scaringe, emphasizing Rivian's proactive approach and commitment to safety. The service experience itself was highlighted as exceptionally easy and quick, with a mobile technician tightening the bolts to the correct torque specification. While the reviewer was disappointed not to see a fully equipped mobile service truck, they understood that regular R1Ts were sufficient for this minor repair. Overall, the reviewer expresses satisfaction with Rivian's handling of the recall and their service execution, viewing it positively for future ownership.
