| RCA-78-22-004-1 | 2022-04-06. Service bulletin. AIR BAGS; SEAT BELTS; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Rivian is initiating a customer satisfaction campaign for some 2022 R1T vehicles that may experience a wire harness clip becoming unseated under the front passenger seat. If this clip becomes unseated, there is a potential for this harness to make contact with the seat track during seat movement. While this potential contact has not been observed to date in any vehicle, it could result in damage to the wires inside the harness, which includes wires connecting to the seat belt anchor pre-tensioner, the seat-mounted side airbag, occupant classification sensor (OCS), and/or other seat functions such as powered movement. Damage to the occupant protection-related wires would illuminate the airbag warning light. If unrepaired, the damage may impact performance of the seat belt anchor pretensioner and OCS. If damage to the OCS wires results in a loss of the OCS, the system defaults to a 50% male deployment profile, deploying the passenger airbag if needed. The primary function of the seat belt and its retractor pretensioner would not be affected under the damaged wire condition described above. Rivian will inspect the front passenger seat body harness edge clip and wiring, reseating the edge clip as necessary. Rivian is launching this campaign for customer satisfaction and to ensure the quality of Rivian vehicles. |
