GoKawiilRivian recalls about 14 R2 SUVs over loose battery pack fasteners
Rivian has issued a recall affecting roughly 14 R2 SUVs after discovering that fasteners on the high-voltage battery pack were not properly tightened, a defect that can cause loss of power while driving. The company will repair or replace affected components as needed, and says it has reprogrammed the assembly-line station at its Normal, Illinois plant that caused the under-torqued fasteners. Rivian told NHTSA it knows of no accidents, injuries or fatalities tied to the issue, though some owners reported problems on Reddit and the blog RivianTrackr.
