The problem

Rivian Automotive, LLC (Rivian) is recalling certain 2022 R1T and R1S vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

The risk

Failure of the air bag to deploy as intended increases the risk of injury to the front passenger during a crash.
