FSAM 997 – Steering Knuckle and Control Arm May Separate – 2022 Rivian R1T, R1S, & EDV

SEOCONTENT-START

RRC-18-22-001-1: Retorque Knuckle to Upper Control Arm Fasteners, R1T and R1S Rivian has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain model year 2022 Rivian R1T and R1S vehicles. Some of the population may have been built with improperly torqued fasteners between the knuckles and front upper control arms. An improperly torqued fastener could cause excessive wheel camber, or, in rare instances, a separation, affecting the driver’s ability to control the vehicle, and increasing the risk of a crash. Rivian will inspect and, as necessary, properly secure the knuckle fasteners in the affected vehicles. In the event that components require replacement, Rivian will replace components, as necessary.

Note: LH side shown. a. If the fastener is loose, or can be freely spun by hand, perform the Replace Components section on the affected side. b. Set a torque wrench to 20 Nm and attempt to tighten the fastener. If the fastener moves before 20 Nm is achieved, perform the Replace Components section on the affected side. c. If the fastener is not loose and does not move before 20 Nm is applied, perform the Retorque Fastener section on the affected side.
