Rivian is recalling more cars because they may have faulty turn signal lamps, with the total now exceeding 30,000 vehicles. Last year, the California startup recalled 27,882 R1S and R1T EVs, and now it has added another 3,829 flagship models to that list, bringing the total to 31,711, according to documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The original recall included the 2025 Rivian R1S and 2025 Rivian R1T, but now even the 2026 models have been thrown into the mix. Most of the vehicles are R1S SUVs, roughly 26,000 units, with 5,700 R1T pickups completing the picture.

Per the most recent recall report, Rivian found that Myotek, the turn signal lamp supplier, may not have properly quarantined the parts that didn’t follow Rivian’s specifications, and as a result, more vehicles were built using faulty parts.

The startup says that one or both front turn signal lamps may not illuminate and flash, and therefore may not be up to federal standards. If a turn signal fails, a message will pop up on the driver display to let the driver know.

To fix the problem, Rivian will inspect and replace the front turn signal lamps on the vehicle that are part of this recall. The company says owners should call and make an appointment with their nearest service center, where the whole operation will take less than an hour.

This is the 10th recall for the 2025 Rivian R1S, and the second one for the 2026 R1S.
