Rivian and Stellantis Recall Over 330,000 Vehicles for Camera Defects

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has identified rearview camera software defects affecting two major automakers, leading to the recall of more than 330,000 vehicles.

Rivian Automotive is recalling 98,828 vehicles, including 62,259 R1S models, 34,088 R1T models, and 2,481 R2 SUVs. The company discovered during internal testing between July and September 2026 that a stability control safety alert could overlap and block the rearview camera image if a driver shifted into reverse without clearing the notification. This defect violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and increases crash risks. Rivian has already deployed an over-the-air software update to resolve the issue, which has reached 95 percent of R1S and R1T models and 96 percent of R2s. No crashes, injuries, or fatalities have been reported. Notification letters will be mailed starting November 9.

Separately, Stellantis is conducting a voluntary safety recall of approximately 239,131 Ram 1500 pickup trucks from the 2025 and 2026 model years. The recall affects vehicles produced between October 6, 2023, and February 23, 2026. A radio software issue may prevent the rearview camera from displaying any image when the driver shifts into reverse. Stellantis began notifying owners on September 24, 2026, and will provide software updates to fix the fault.
