Problem: Rivian Automotive, LLC (Rivian) is recalling certain 2022-2027 R1S, 2022-2026 R1T, and 2027 R2 vehicles. The rearview camera image may be obstructed by a notification when in reverse.

Owners may contact Rivian customer service at 1-888-748-4261. Rivian's number for this recall is FSAM-1866.
