Rivian has issued a recall affecting a small group of its new R2 electric vehicles after identifying a connection that may not be secure. The issue could result in a loss of drive power, a significant safety concern if it occurs while the vehicle is moving.
According to a report by Carscoops, the recall concerns only a handful of vehicles. The available information does not identify the precise number of affected R2s or the repair procedure Rivian will use.
A loss of propulsion does not necessarily affect steering or braking, but it can leave a driver unable to maintain traffic speed or clear a hazardous position quickly. Owners who receive a recall notification should arrange the required work promptly and follow any instructions provided by Rivian.
The R2 is among Rivian's newest EVs, and the case underlines the scrutiny facing electrical connections and powertrain systems in newly launched battery-electric models. Drivers in Montenegro considering an imported EV should also confirm recall status through the manufacturer before purchase or registration.
