RRC-82-23-001-1: Replace Backup Lamps Due to Regulatory Visibility Requirements
Rivian has decided that certain model year 2022-2023 R1S vehicles may have been built with backup lamps that may not comply with regulatory visibility requirements. When the vehicle is in reverse, the back-up lamps will illuminate. However, the optical center may not be visible from the specified planes. Though this noncompliance may affect visibility and potentially increase the risk of a crash, the vehicle will make reverse operating sounds which will be noticeable to pedestrians and as required by FMVSS 141, Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles. Additionally, sensors and backup cameras will detect objects in close proximity to the rear, providing visibility to the rear and triggering visual and audible alerts to the driver as required by FMVSS 111, Rear visibility. Pursuant to its recall determination, Rivian will replace the LH and RH backup lamps.
