Rivian Expands Recall to Over 30,000 R1S and R1T EVs Due to Indicator Malfunction

Rivian has announced an expanded recall covering more than 30,000 R1S SUVs and R1T pickup trucks, citing problems with turn signal indicators. The initial recall, which began last year, has now been enlarged after the company identified additional vehicles that might be equipped with defective indicator components.

Owners will be notified, and the company will replace the faulty parts at no cost. Rivian has stated that no injuries or fatalities have been reported related to this defect.

This recall highlights the ongoing challenges in EV production quality, as automakers navigate complex supply chains and new technologies. Rivian assures customers that the repair process will be swift and that they are committed to maintaining safety standards.
