Rivian R1 Recall: 19,641 Units, Rear Suspension Reassembly Issues
Rivian's issuing a recall on nearly 20k R1 models over rear suspension work that may not have been reassembled to spec—the kind of quality control nightmare that haunts new manufacturers trying to scale. This isn't a design flaw; it's a service execution problem, which somehow feels worse. Owners will need dealer visits to verify the work was done right.
When your recall is about whether the techs actually put it back together correctly, you've got a confidence problem money can't immediately fix.
