Rivian Recalls 98,828 U.S. Vehicles Over Rearview Camera Defect
RIVN sits 22% above its 52-week low of $12.39.
Summary
Rivian is recalling 98,828 U.S. vehicles because an obstructed rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing crash risk. The recall, reported by NHTSA, affects a substantial portion of Rivian's fleet and could lead to repair costs and potential reputational impact. This is the first report of this specific recall in the timeline. The company recently achieved its first consolidated gross profit in Q2 2026, so this recall may test investor confidence in quality control. Watch for details on the fix and any financial impact in upcoming filings.
