The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced on September 24, 2025, that it has opened a preliminary evaluation into 17,198 Rivian electric delivery vans. The probe focuses on concerns regarding the performance of seatbelts in these vehicles.
This regulatory action indicates potential safety issues with a critical component in Rivian's commercial fleet. A preliminary evaluation can lead to a full investigation and potentially a recall if a safety defect is identified.
The probe could have implications for Rivian's commercial vehicle business, including potential costs associated with investigations, repairs, or recalls, as well as impacts on its reputation and relationships with fleet customers like Amazon.
