RCA-18-22-002-1: Replace Rear Upper Lateral Links and
Fasteners
Rivian is initiating a customer satisfaction campaign for some model year 2022 R1T vehicles that may have
been built with rear left-hand (LH) and/or right-hand (RH) upper lateral link fasteners that were over-torqued.
Over time, this over-torquing may cause the components, including the bolt, mounting bracket and upper
lateral link bushing to deform, resulting in a loose joint. The loose joint could result in a loss of wheel camber
setting and a noticeable change in handling characteristics and tire wear. The customer may also notice
increased noise from the rear of the vehicle. Rivian will replace both the LH and RH upper lateral links and their
associated fasteners. Rivian is launching this campaign for customer satisfaction and to ensure the quality of
Rivian vehicles.
