Tuesday, October 11th, 2022 AutoRivian Automotive (RIVN) is recalling almost all of its 2022 vehicles because of a problem with a wheel fastener.
Rivan said in a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) it was recalling 12,212 RT1 trucks, RS1 SUVs and EDV commercial vans after discovering that the front upper control arm and the steering knuckle retention fastener for each front wheel was was not properly tightened.
The recall involves vehicles made from Dec. 10, 2021 to Sept. 27, 2022.

Rivian noted it hasn’t received any reports of injuries from the issue, which it added affects about 1% of the vehicles.
