It’s a very important label, of course. The fix for the issue, however, is peak bureaucracy.
Rivian’s flagship EVs, the R1T pickup and R1S SUV, aren’t strangers to safety recalls, but this latest one can probably be filed in the “not a big deal” folder of things that could go wrong on the assembly line. The two battery-powered adventure vehicles were recalled for faulty airbag sensors, improperly secured seatbelts and potentially improperly fastened side airbags in the past, but this time it’s a missing airbag label that’s the culprit.
The cars were built between February 19 and March 8, 2024, without an airbag label on the dashboard, which violates the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 571.208–Occupant crash protection.
