The defect

Rivian Automotive, LLC (Rivian) is recalling certain 2025 R1T and R1S vehicles. Software version 2024.39.30 may prevent certain exterior lights from turning on when the Car Costume feature is activated.

The risk

Deactivated exterior lighting reduces the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
