Limp Mode After Hub Torquing Recall Completed

[sgtpeper]

Service got to my car today. The issue is the rear drive unit inverter suffering an internal failure.

Should have it back in like 2 weeks...

Meanwhile I'm driving a rental Yukon - so I went from burning no gas to all of it.

Really wish they had more Rivian loaners around..

Hi All,

Wondering if any of you have gotten the recall or service call to bring your Rivian in to have the hubs retorqued? They also replaced my 12v battery under a recall as well.

Well, basically 48 hours later I was pulling into my garage and felt a sort of stutter from the rear and suddenly the dash lit up like a Christmas Tree - Drive Unit Error, Limp Mode, 4WD system fully engaged. All sorts of fun lights.

I did a hard reset and tried driving again. I got a few blocks and boom I felt that weird stutter at the rear and the into limp mode. It said I couldn't go above 42 so I started to make my way home again and it went into emergency stop mode and directed me to the side of the road and then I was stuck. I did a hard reset one more time and was able to limp back to my house.

My R1S was sent by flatbed to the service center. No real info yet - the note said they needed to escalate it to a sr service person...

No loaners available so I'm stuck driving a massive Yukon...

Wondering if any others have had this happen to them.

Thanks,

I just had the hubs retouqued and heard a scraping sound from the driver's front side at highway speeds. Brought it right back and the tech told me it was something with the suspension which would be addressed at the 15k inspection in a few weeks. He said it was not a safety concern. I haven't had any serious issues yet.

I got my car back yesterday. All is good now. They replaced the entire rear drive unit.

Oddly, they also had to replace the 12v again as it wasn't behaving properly they said - remember they had just replaced the 12v a couple days before it went into the shop.

Hoping for many more miles of problem free driving ahead!
