Rivian recalls 2022–2027 R1S, R1T and R2: Obstructed Rearview Camera Image

What is wrong

Rivian Automotive, LLC is recalling certain 2022-2027 R1S, 2022-2026 R1T, and 2027 R2 vehicles. The rearview camera image may be obstructed by a notification when in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Why it matters

An obstructed rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Rivian has released an over-the-air software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 9, 2026. Rivian's number for this recall is FSAM-1866. Vehicle Identification Numbers involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov on November 9, 2026.

Recall repairs are free at the brand's dealers, no matter who owns the car now.

What to do now

1. Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls – it shows whether this recall is open on your exact car. Your VIN is on the driver-side dashboard (look through the windshield) and on your registration.
2. If it is open, call a Rivian dealer to book the free repair. Ask how long parts will take if the remedy is not ready yet.
3. A mobile mechanic cannot do recall work – only the brand's dealers can. A mobile mechanic can still check other problems on the car where it is parked.
