Jan 8 (Reuters) – Rivian Automotive is recalling 19,641 previously serviced R1S and R1T electric vehicles in the U.S., citing incorrectly assembled rear toe link, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Thursday.

The automaker will replace the rear toe‑link bolts free of charge, NHTSA said.

Rivian was aware of only one single vehicle crash with minor injuries related to the toe link issue, the agency added.

In 2025, Rivian produced 42,284 vehicles and delivered 42,247 vehicles.

NHTSA disclosed last month that Rivian was recalling 34,824 electric delivery vans after finding that repeated misuse could damage the driver’s seat‑belt pretensioner cable, though the company said it was not aware of any related incidents or injuries.
