Rivian Recalls Nearly 20,000 Vehicles Over Misassembled Suspension Components

Rivian recalled 19,641 R1S and R1T vehicles in the U.S. after discovering rear toe links were incorrectly reassembled during service operations. The defect affects vehicle stability and steering response. The recall signals quality control gaps extending beyond initial manufacturing into the post-sale service chain, a vulnerability that distinguishes this from earlier production-line issues affecting Rivian's electric truck and SUV lines.
