Rivian have issued a recall affecting 17,260 vehicles in the U.S. due to a headlamp issue. The recall affects some 2025-model R1S SUVs and R1T pickup trucks, according to Rivian’s report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The problem is the low beam may fail to illuminate when starting the vehicle in cold weather. To fix it, Rivian will replace the headlight control module in affected vehicles. The modules manage the operation of vehicle’s headlights, including the activation of low and high beams.
Rivian say they’ve had no reports of collisions resulting from the fault, caused by some vehicles having been equipped with parts incorrectly configured by the supplier. The issue affects vehicles manufactured between 29 April 2024 and 3 February 2025. As of press time, there is no word on whether a similar recall is being undertaken in Canada, or elsewhere in the world.
