RCA-78-22-006-1: Increase Clearance between Frame
Harness and Steering Column
Rivian is initiating a customer satisfaction campaign for some model year 2022 R1T vehicles that may have been
built with a low clearance condition between the left front frame harness and the steering column intermediate
shaft. If the frame harness touches the steering column intermediate shaft and this condition persists over
time, the vehicle may experience a wear-through condition of the wires in the frame harness. The wear-through
condition, which has not been observed to date in any customer vehicle, would only result if the frame harness
length is near the limits of the specification and the nearby harness that normally constrains the frame harness
is misrouted. The potential wear-through condition may result in a loss of electronic stability control. If loss
of electronic stability control occurs, the vehicle will enter a reduced performance safe-state mode and
an "Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system malfunction" indicator light will illuminate on the driver display
alerting the driver to have service performed on their vehicle. Rivian will install a cable tie to ensure clearance
between the frame harness and the steering column intermediate shaft. Rivian is launching this campaign for
customer satisfaction and to ensure the quality of Rivian vehicles.
