Details

What's wrong: The occupant classification system (ocs) may not deactivate the air bag when a child or child seat occupies the front passenger seat. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "occupant crash protection."

Why it matters: A child in the front seat may be at a greater risk of injury in the event of a passenger air bag deployment during a crash.

The fix: Rivian service centers will replace the front passenger seat, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 6, 2022.
