2025 Rivian R1S Recall: Missing Cruise Control Markings

Rivian is recalling 33 2025 R1S vehicles because the steering column control module may be missing cruise control markings. Without proper markings, drivers may not know how to use the cruise control, potentially increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a labeling defect involving missing cruise control markings on a vehicle control interface. No injuries or illnesses have been reported. The hazard is theoretical—potential driver confusion about operating the control. Per the rubric, this qualifies as a minor labeling error without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Rivian Automotive is recalling certain 2025 R1S vehicles equipped with steering column control modules (SCCMs) that may have missing cruise control markings. The missing markings violate Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 101, which governs vehicle controls and displays.

Without proper markings, drivers may not know how to activate or deactivate the cruise control system. This lack of clarity could increase the risk of crashes if drivers become confused about how to operate this control.

Approximately 33 vehicles are affected. Owners were notified by mail on October 18, 2024. Rivian will inspect and replace the affected steering column control modules at no cost. Owners can contact Rivian customer service at 1-888-748-4264 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
