RCA-78-22-004-1: Edge Clip on Body Harness Not Fully
Seated
Rivian is initiating a customer satisfaction campaign for some 2022 R1T vehicles that may experience a wire
harness clip becoming unseated under the front passenger seat. If this clip becomes unseated, there is a
potential for this harness to make contact with the seat track during seat movement. While this potential
contact has not been observed to date in any vehicle, it could result in damage to the wires inside the
harness, which includes wires connecting to the seat belt anchor pre-tensioner, the seat-mounted side airbag,
occupant classification sensor (OCS), and/or other seat functions such as powered movement. Damage to the
occupant protection-related wires would illuminate the airbag warning light. If unrepaired, the damage may
impact performance of the seat belt anchor pretensioner and OCS. If damage to the OCS wires results in a loss
of the OCS, the system defaults to a 50% male deployment profile, deploying the passenger airbag if needed.
The primary function of the seat belt and its retractor pretensioner would not be affected under the damaged
wire condition described above. Rivian will inspect the front passenger seat body harness edge clip and wiring,
reseating the edge clip as necessary. Rivian is launching this campaign for customer satisfaction and to ensure
the quality of Rivian vehicles.
