All manufacturers have recalls like these. Doesn't seem exceptional to me.

Link is behind a paywall.

Looks like the recall is a loose bolt on the front suspension.

Only things that makes the recall unique: 1 it’s on every vehicle the manufacturer has built.
2 it’s an interesting test to see how the service infrastructure works across the country


I doubt they’re fully ready to have every vehicle ever built serviced at the same time. And definitely not ready to have quality control on the quality of the service on all vehicles at once.

I found it exceptional.

Besides being all vehicles, it's a mechanical recall and a potentially dangerous issue and could cause a loss of steering control.

Is a mechanical recall on all vehicles exceptional?

All 2021 Mustang Mach-Es produced up to certain dates, including mine, had mechanical recalls, too, for loose subframe bolts and improperly bonded glass. See NHTSA site or my shared spreadsheet/records for details:

Ironically Rivian is doing what Ford should do, recalling all vehicles for customer safety. Why can't Ford do the same for the HV battery SVS issue, instead of the OTA that does not fix the issue. Instead the MME's are ticking time bombs with no proactive recall like Rivian.

Because one torque wrench can fix all of the recalled Rivians. The HVBJB repair is more complicated. Also, Ford EV techs are like bigfoot, there are sightings, but no actual confirmation of their existence.

Our 2021 Wrangler 4xe was recalled for loose ball joint nuts. Was making a clicking noise while turning or off road. A quick retorque solved the issue. Been great ever since.

Where do you even get a Rivian serviced?

We have a service center in town. When I had my test drive, they had a dozen or more service bays and most contained vehicles. Not sure I'd they were being prepped for delivery or being serviced. Probably a mixture of both.

I agree with the sentiment, but apples to oranges here. Retorquing a bolt is not the same thing as droppi.g a battery pack. The software doesn't fix the problem, and wasn't intended to- it warns of the problem so it can be fixed. That's all.

That said, good on Rivian for doing it, lucky for them it's only what, 13,000 vehicles?
