Service bulletin RCA-56-22-008-1
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
Rivian is initiating a customer satisfaction campaign for some model year 2022 R1T vehicles that may have been built with door latch mechanisms that are prone to water intrusion. In rare instances the handle lever inside the door may bind, preventing a door from latching or unlatching. If the door does not latch, the customer would notice it swinging freely and a “door ajar" indicator light will illuminate on the driver display. If the door does not unlatch, the customer could exit the vehicle through another door. Rivian will replace all 4 exterior door handle levers with upgraded components. Rivian is launching this campaign for customer satisfaction and to ensure the quality of Rivian vehicles.

| RSB-56-22-001-1 | 2022-08-05. Service bulletin. Rivian is launching a technical service bulletin for some model year 2022 R1T vehicles that might have early revisions of interior door handles. In some situations, the handle might snap back when it is released, exerting excess force on the handle and potentially breaking it. If a vehicle is serviced for a broken handle, Rivian will proactively replace all 4 interior door handles with upgraded components. |
