The Rivian headlights are among the most distinctive of the company. The problem is that the lamps on certain examples of 2025 do not fulfill their main obligation to help drivers to see and be seen. Consequently, the automaker remembers more than 17,000 examples of its two R1 models.
The problem lies in the headlight lights on the R1T truck and the R1S SUV, which may not wake up when the owners try to start their electric vehicles in cold weather. One or more lights may not illuminate and the owners will not have to wait for them to be flashed by the drivers coming in the opposite direction to find out. The EV will display a message on the screen by indicating them “The powers of the liver do not work. Stock Exchange Service soon.
