I received early morning today an email about the head lights alignment recall:

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 2023-2024 Rivian R1S & R1T vehicles fail to conform with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.” 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: ...34xxx

What is the problem?
Rivian has determined that on certain model year 2023 and 2024 R1S & R1T vehicles the headlamps are aimed slightly too low and do not meet current production specifications or fulfill the requirements of TSD 108 (Lamp, reflective devices and associated equipment). Headlamps that are not aimed properly can result in insufficient illumination of the road while driving, which may increase the risk of a crash while driving at night.

Transport Canada Recall No. 2024‑292
Rivian Recall No. FSAM‑1445

What will Rivian do?
Rivian will check the headlamp adjustment on the affected vehicles and correct it, if necessary, free of charge.

What should you do?
Please call 1‑855‑748‑4265 to schedule the recall service repair with your Rivian Service Center at your earliest convenience. The estimated recall service time should take less than an hour to complete, please plan accordingly. Information about this recall is listed on our website.

Do you have other questions?
If you have further questions, please call Rivian Service Support at 1‑855‑748‑4265. You may contact Transport Canada Service Standards – Defect Investigations and Recalls Division at 1‑800‑333‑0510.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. The quality and safety of your vehicle is of the utmost importance to us.

I haven't received a notice yet, but I find this a little comical. I have had several drivers flashing their high beams at me thinking I have my high beams on. definitely not aimed too low.

Mine are definitely aimed low, night driving without brights is almost impossible, I’m in Ottawa , and was waiting for Montreal service Center to become active before asking for service, but I’m back in Toronto for a Tuxmat fitting (I’m their prototype) in a couple weeks, so have scheduled it for same day

They are open if you create a ticket they will schedule it for Montreal. Well not really open but kind of open. They did my service twice at my house and today I'm currently driving to them to drop mine off.

I didn't receive this notice my headlights are amazing so many flashes from everyone.

100. I've gotten the flash and then I flash back. "Thanks for letting me know about the cop ahead... also, these are my brights."

Aren’t these adjustable in the vehicle settings/service menu?

I resemble that remark.

To whom it may concern: getting into a “my high beams are brighter” kerfuffle with the person opposite you at a light is not a good way to win friends and influence people. Especially the spouse and kids who have memories like elephants.

That's happened, like, once, and not at a light. I swear I've never flashed another Rivian... at least not outside of a "hi!" flash.

Wait... am I flashing at your wife in town and she's coming at you like, "who's this weirdo who keeps flashing his high-beams at me?" Because I drive around and I'm like, "why isn't this fellow Riviot not returning my hello?"

We can, like... be friends or something...

That’s SO me! Getting another Rivian driver to wave back makes my day.

Thanks, I have my name on the list for R1T Tuxmats, so I appreciate you loaning your truck......
