RCA-78-22-009-1: Trapped Jump Start Wire Harness
Rivian is initiating a customer satisfaction campaign for some model year 2022 R1T vehicles that may have been
built with a trapped jump start wire harness. This condition would prevent the jump start wire harness from
being accessed in order to supply power to the 12V batteries from an external power source, preventing the
vehicle from being “jump started” in the event of an over-discharged 12V battery. Rivian will inspect the jump
start wire harness and reroute it if necessary. Rivian is launching this campaign for customer satisfaction and to
ensure the quality of Rivian vehicles.
