Ford Motor Company also announced a recall.

A smaller recall was announced from Rivian Automotive. Rivian is recalling approximately 207 2022 R1T and R1S vehicles. The front seat belt anchors may have been inadequately attached to the B-pillar, according to the company.

Rivian will inspect the front seat belt assemblies and, as necessary, properly secure the bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 14, 2022.
