Service bulletin RCA-60-23-001-1
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 2022 R1T vehicles that may have been builtwith hydraulic suspension jounce lines that could contact the front underbody subframe panel and/or the front wheel liners. Over time the hydraulic suspension jounce lines may rub through due to this contact. As a result, the vehicle may experience a loss of hydraulic pressure, suspension sag, increased body roll, and/ or the vehicle may enter a reduced performance safe-state mode with limited speed. If the vehicle enters a reduced performance safe-state mode, there will be a notification displayed and a malfunction indicator lamp illuminated on the driver display. Rivian will replace the front underbody panel and the front wheel liners with updated parts that will not interfere with the front hydraulic suspension jounce lines. Rivian is launching this campaign for customer satisfaction and to ensure the quality of Rivian vehicles.

| RSB-18-24-001-1 | 2024-08-07. Service bulletin. Rivian is initiating a technical service bulletin for some 2022-2024 R1T and R1S vehicles. In some situations, the driver may notice a squeaking or chirping noise coming from the front of the vehicle when driving on uneven surfaces below 32 km/h (20 mph). This condition does not affect vehicle performance. Upon customer complaint of this squeaking or chirping noise, Rivian will replace the front hydraulic jounce lines with upgraded components to eliminate the noise. |
| PIN.18.001.V1 | 2024-02-08. Service bulletin. Rivian is initiating a Preliminary Information Notification (PIN) for MY2022/23 R1 vehicles. Under certain driving conditions, at low speeds (under 25 mph), when the vehicle is articulating over bumps and uneven surfaces, a chirp noise can be heard inside the cabin, which might be perceived as a quality issue. But the noise is not an indication of a quality issue and there are no resulting performance issues with the vehicle. Rivian is currently assessing potential noise mitigations. |
| RSB-64-23-001-1 | 2023-10-05. Service bulletin. Rivian is launching a technical service bulletin for some model year 2022 R1T vehicles that are equipped with an early revision upper tailgate trim panel. If easily-damaged cargo is placed against the tailgate while it is closed, the upper tailgate trim panel could abrade the cargo when the vehicle is in motion. Upon customer complaint, Rivian will replace the upper tailgate trim panel with an updated component that has a rubber insert designed to protect cargo. |
