Rivian Car declared on Friday it is recalling almost every one of the vehicles it has delivered to customers to tighten a loose fastener.
The electric truck and SUV producer said the issue might actually influence drivers’ capacity to guide.
The recall involves 13,000 vehicles on the grounds that a fastener interfacing the vehicles’ front upper-control arm and steering knuckle may not be torqued enough.
There have been seven reports possibly connected with the issue, yet no wounds have been accounted for, Rivian said.
“If you experience excessive noise, vibration or harshness from the front suspension, or a change in steering performance or feel, you should call immediately,” Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe wrote in a letter to vehicle owners.
The organization says it is a quick fix and hopes to have completed the repairs on every one of them in around 30 days.
The organization, which was established in 2009, is expecting to take advantage of a developing appetite among consumers and investors for electric vehicles.
Rivian is among a long line of organizations, both new and old, attempting to peel away market share from Tesla.
It went public last year, and its market value immediately took off past that of Ford and General Motors, yet has since returned to earth.
In May, Ford managed its stake in the organization, selling 15 million shares.
Rivian’s stock is down 67% up to this point this year.
Amazon has ordered a total of 100,000 electric delivery vans which will be delivered by 2030. Toward the finish of 2022, Amazon and Rivian’s electric delivery vans will hit the road in more than 100 cities.
Last month, Rivian said it was partnering with Mercedes-Benz to construct a factory in Europe that will deliver electric vans for the two organizations.
