Rivian recalls 500 EV pickup trucks due to front passenger seat airbag defect
Rivian issued a voluntary recall this week for 500 of its R1T pickup trucks for a sensor defect that could cause air bags to improperly deploy when a child is in the front passenger seat.
, announced its production progress — and the recall — in its first quarter earnings report Wednesday.“Rivian has determined that on certain R1T vehicles, the front passenger seat may not deactivate the front passenger air bag as required if a child seat or child is in that seat,” Rivian spokesperson Peebles Squire said in an emailed statement Thursday.
But supply chain issues and a slow production ramp-up have hammered Rivian’s stock price this year as it struggles to keep up with demand. The Normal plant has an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles, and was hoping to build 50,000 in 2022, before global supply chain issues, including a semiconductor shortage that has roiled the auto industry, cut the first-year target in half. Rivian produced 2,553 vehicles during the first quarter, with Amazon electric delivery vans accounting for about a third of that total, Scaringe said.
