Rivian Reports 1,842 More R1s Fixed in Ongoing Turn Signal Recall

Rivian has reported that it remedied 1,842 additional R1S and R1T vehicles in the third quarter under its front turn signal recall, according to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The campaign, now covering 3,829 vehicles, is an expansion of a larger original recall filed in June 2025 that covered 27,882 vehicles, bringing the total affected population to more than 31,000 R1S and R1T vehicles.

The original recall

The campaign, tracked under NHTSA recall number 26V-508 and Rivian's internal code FSAM-1833, targets certain 2025 and 2026 model year R1S and R1T vehicles built between June 12, 2024 and May 26, 2026. The defect: one or both front turn signal lamps may fail to illuminate or flash because of a manufacturing issue with components supplied by Michigan-based Myotek. The problem means the vehicles don't meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, which governs lamps and reflective devices on vehicles.

The original June 2025 campaign covered 27,882 vehicles. Rivian believed at the time that the defective parts had been isolated and removed from the production line, but further investigation found that some faulty components weren't properly quarantined by the supplier, allowing additional bad parts to reach the factory floor. Rivian has said it continued monitoring field data after the initial recall and identified 17 additional turn signal failures that matched the previously documented issue. NHTSA reportedly instructed Rivian to file the expansion as a separate recall rather than amending the original campaign.

What drivers should watch for

If one or both front turn signal lamps stop working, a message reading "Turn signal lights not working. Service it soon." will appear on the driver display. Any turn signals that continue to function will also blink at double speed, and the turn signal chime will sound at double speed as well.

Rivian says it is not aware of any crashes, injuries, or fatalities related to the condition, but notes that diminished turn signal performance could reduce other drivers' awareness of the vehicle's intent to turn, increasing crash risk.

The fix

Rivian service centers will inspect and, where necessary, replace the front turn signal lamps at no cost to owners. The repair is expected to take less than an hour. Owners can schedule an appointment by calling 1-855-748-4265.

Owners of 2025–2026 R1S and R1T vehicles should check their VIN on the NHTSA recall lookup page to confirm whether their vehicle is included in the affected production window, which runs from June 12, 2024 through May 26, 2026.
