Rivian Recalls 100,000 SUVs For Strange Backup Camera Display Fault

Software is a fickle beast, causing countless problems for modern cars. One particularly pesky component across the industry has been the backup camera display. Numerous automakers have issued recalls for various bugs, and now it’s Rivian’s turn, and it’s an odd one.

According to the recall report, the defect appears only after a very specific sequence of events. It starts with the driver leaving the vehicle for a period with stability control turned off in certain drive modes. When they return, the screen could display a safety alert informing the driver that stability control is off and asking if they want a mode with it on.

If the driver shifts the vehicle into reverse without clearing the alert, the notification could obscure the camera's image until the vehicle begins to move. This error may cause the vehicle not to meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Rivian began investigating the issue in July after discovering it during internal testing. On September 10, it determined the vehicles could be noncompliant with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Rivian said it is not aware of any crashes, injuries, or fatalities related to the issue.

The automaker already has a software update available that fixes the issue. It’s installed on over 95 percent of the affected vehicles.

Mototr1’s Take: Ever since regulators mandated backup cameras, they have caused headaches for automakers. Thankfully, many of these issues are software-related and easily fixed with an over-the-air update.
