Rivian recalls about 100,700 vehicles over rearview camera display issue

Sept 23 — Electric vehicle maker Rivian Automotive said ​on Wednesday it is recalling about 100,700 vehicles, representing a majority ‌of its vehicles produced to date, over a ⁠software issue that ​can obstruct the ⁠rearview camera display.

Here are some ‌more details:

• The ‌recall covers certain 2022-2026 R1T pickup ⁠trucks, 2022-2027 R1S ⁠SUVs and 2027 R2 models, Rivian said. The issue is a non-compliance matter involving US and Canadian rear-visibility safety standards.

• In an emailed statement, ‌the EV maker told ​Reuters that, in rare instances when stability control is off, "a safety prompt asking to re-enable stability control may overlap the rearview camera view when shifting into reverse until the ​vehicle moves."

• More than 95% of ‌the affected ‌vehicles ⁠have already received a software fix, the company said, adding that all vehicles produced after August 10 already ‌include the updated software.
