NHTSA recall 23V109000
Air Bags, Seat Belts · Rivian Automotive, LLC
Details
What's wrong: A faulty automatic locking retractor (alr) sensor in the front passenger seat belt system may incorrectly report as on when it is actually off, causing the suppression or improper deployment of the air bag. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "occupant crash protection."
Why it matters: Failure of the air bag to deploy as intended increases the risk of injury to the front passenger during a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the front passenger seat belt system components as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 5, 2023.
