R1S leaking coolant fluid

[SweetCaroline]

Received delivery of my R1-S on 6/16 and noticed a clear liquid leaking on my garage floor. I assumed it was from the A/C, but notification came up a couple of days later “Low Coolant, Service Soon”. It is currently at the Cleveland SC. Just wondering if anyone else had this issue with their R1-S?

I had something similar, although it wasn’t as easy to trace as yours. Ended up being a coolant line.

I did read on someone saying their reservoir was cracked.

I would obviously contact Rivian.

Mine was a loose fitting. Unfortunately it caused the car to stop on a freeway offramp. Thankfully I was able to do a full reboot of the car and drive home. Towed to the service center and the fitting was tightened.

Interesting. I had my rear motor unit replaced because there was low coolant in my truck and it burned out. They told me it was not leaking and must have been under filled at the factory… I have my doubts, but it has been great since.

Wow! That must have been scary! Has everything been working fine since?

Everything is perfect since. That incident happened at the end of a road trip a few months ago and one positive was the offramp was 3 miles from home. I just got back last night from a shorter road trip and everything is fine.

Does anyone know how to verify or inspect if the coolant level is low? I did notice a puddle of water under my R1T the other day. Thanks.

Passenger side covers in the frunk. You have to unclip them.
