Likely the reason for the partial delay in release, Stop Sale order which some Canadians had posted about, and subsequent simultaneous CAN/US OTA.
Unfortunately a recall is a recall is a recall, despite the ability to remedy it via software.
Hi Adam,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Rivian Automotive, LLC has decided that certain model year 2022-2024 Rivian R1S and R1T vehicles fail to conform with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 “Lighting Systems and Reflective Devices.” This is to inform you that your vehicle may be non-compliant with the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations and that the non-compliance could affect the safety of a person.
This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: 7FCTGAAA5PN01XXXX
What is the problem?
The affected vehicles were built with daytime running lamps that do not comply with regulatory visibility requirements. If the daytime running lamps are switched off manually by setting the lighting mode to the “parking” setting, the daytime running lamps will not reactivate automatically. When the vehicle is operated in the “parking” lights mode, the lamps used as daytime running lamps will illuminate. However, the brightness is not sufficiently bright to meet the requirements of daytime running lamps. This noncompliance may affect visibility and potentially increase the risk of a crash.
Daytime running lamps are on when driving with the vehicle in the “auto” lighting mode. Leaving the lights in this mode, as they are by default, will minimize the safety risk.
Transport Canada Recall No. 2024-077
Rivian Recall No. FSAM-1385
What will Rivian do?
Rivian will update the software of the affected vehicles through an over-the-air update (2024.03.02) that will ensure daytime running lamps are reactivated automatically when the vehicle speed goes above 10km/h. The recall service will be available at no cost to you.
What should you do?
Rivian has already implemented a new software update (2024.03.02). As of February 12, 2024 this software will be available on your vehicle, please install this software update 2024.03.02 at your earliest convenience. Software update should take an hour to complete. Information about this recall is listed on our website.
