2024 RIVIAN R1S Complaints
At 56,083 miles, my 2024 Rivian R1S experienced a suspension warning while driving on the US-101 Freeway and entered reduced-performance/turtle mode, limiting the vehicle to approximately 50 MPH while surrounding traffic was traveling substantially faster. The sudden speed differential created a serious highway collision risk. Rivian inspected the vehicle and diagnosed fault P12DF7A, “Roll Control Cross Circuit Static Leakage Check Failure.” The technician repeated the hydraulic leakage test to rule out a false positive. After draining the hydraulic fluid, Rivian found metal debris throughout the system and documented that it was causing system contamination. Rivian separately confirmed in writing that the source was an “internal mechanical failure in the system.” Rivian Repair Invoice INV_20260811-204135.pdf Rivian determined that the contaminated system required replacement of the hydraulic suspension manifold, hydraulic pump and all four dampers. Its repair procedure requires all four dampers to be replaced when metal debris contaminates the system. Rivian - Metal Debris Email.pdf Critically, Rivian advised me that even if turtle mode did not immediately recur, recurrence was “inevitable in the future” because of the metal debris and stated: “For your safety, we strongly advise against driving the vehicle in this condition prior to completing the full repair.” Rivian - Metal Debris Email.pdf I previously reported excessive suspension clicking to Rivian at approximately 44,000 miles while under warranty. I am aware of at least two potentially similar R1 failures, including another involving reported metal fragments and turtle mode. I request NHTSA investigate whether an internal mechanical failure can introduce metal debris into the interconnected R1 hydraulic suspension system, contaminate multiple components and cause reduced-performance mode at highway speed, and whether similar R1S/R1T incidents indicate a broader safety defect.;
2024 RIVIAN R1T Complaints
On February 15, 2025, Rivian performed Field Service Action FSAM-1507 on my 2024 Rivian R1T at 11,590 miles. Hub-to-knuckle fasteners were found loose in four structural locations. This was identified as a safety-related field service action. A second field service action, FSAM-1678 (front halfshaft NVH washers), was performed November 3–4, 2025. I am reporting both actions to create a federal record of the structural safety deficiencies in this vehicle.;
