Rivian is recalling 24,214 US electric vehicles over a software glitch in its hands-free driver assistance program that can fail to identify lead vehicles and increase the risk of a crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday.

The recall includes 2025 R1S and R1T vehicles running on an older software system.

It estimates 100% of these electric SUVs and trucks have the defect.

Rivian said it is aware of at least one low-speed crash in May after Rivian’s Hands-Free Highway Assist feature failed to correctly identify a lead vehicle in stop-and-go traffic.

It is not aware of any injuries related to the faulty software version.

Notification letters are expected to be mail
