What's wrong?
The accelerator pedal in the 2022 Rivian R1S and R1T tells the drive system how much power the driver is requesting. It also helps the vehicle know when the driver has lifted off the pedal, which matters for features such as auto-hold at a stop, automatic park, and sleep mode.
On affected vehicles, an early-revision pedal supplied out of specification can send a signal that does not match the driver's release of the pedal. Rivian traced the condition to signal drift tied to temperature in that pedal design. When the vehicle does not see a clean pedal-release signal, it fails to activate auto-hold or park as intended.
A driver can notice the vehicle staying out of auto-hold after stopping with their foot lifted from the accelerator. The vehicle can also fail to enter park or sleep mode, and the driver display can show pedal malfunction indicators.
Who's affected?
Covers both Rivian body styles in the 2022 model year, with the same accelerator pedal listed for each.
| 2022 Rivian R1S | Accelerator pedal |
|---|---|
| 2022 Rivian R1T | Accelerator pedal |
| Units affected | 7,873 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged 35 field incidents to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
If auto-hold or park fails to activate, the vehicle can move when the driver expects it to stay stopped, increasing crash risk. Watch for auto-hold not engaging at a stop, park or sleep mode not engaging, or pedal malfunction indicators. Shift to park before exiting. Repair is free at any franchised Rivian dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Rivian R1S or R1T is included in this recall.
- Contact Rivian service to schedule the free accelerator-pedal replacement and confirm the OTA software update for the auto-hold and park activation defect.
- Bring the owner letter if you received one. If not, reference recall number 23V883 when you contact Rivian.
- Confirm park is engaged before exiting the vehicle until Rivian completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
Rivian has released a wireless software update for the affected vehicles. At the dealer, a Rivian technician also replaces the accelerator pedal assembly covered by recall 23V883. The software update and pedal replacement are free under the recall. If you already paid for a repair that later became part of this field action, Rivian's reimbursement policy covers confirmed expenses. Send the original receipt or other proof of payment to Rivian, using the instructions in the owner letter, so the company can confirm the expense.
