The short version

Rivian Automotive, LLC reported a problem with the air bags frontal. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

A faulty automatic locking retractor (ALR) sensor in the front passenger seat belt system may incorrectly report as ON when it is actually OFF, causing the suppression or improper deployment of the air bag. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

WHY IT MATTERS

Failure of the air bag to deploy as intended increases the risk of injury to the front passenger during a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will inspect and replace the front passenger seat belt system components as necessary, free of charge.
