2024 Rivian R1S — how should a forum discuss a breaking recall before every VIN is loaded?

CamberOwnerCommunity StarterJul 28, 20262024 Rivian R1S Dual-MotorLas Vegas
2024 Rivian R1S Dual-Motor, about 26,500 miles. A new recall announcement can hit the news before owners see anything in their VIN lookup. What is the best way to separate confirmed affected populations, pending VIN data and owner speculation?

Checked the easy stuff on the 2024 Rivian R1S and found one clue worth chasing before I book a shop. I'd rather pay for diagnosis than a second guess-repair.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2024 Rivian R1S, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. That's where I'd start. On “how should a forum discuss a breaking,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Fair point. Counterpoint: Try a second charger before blaming the 2024 Rivian R1S — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. I'd do that before spending real money. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. Checking again after work.

Tried a second charger / second scan and the story on the 2024 Rivian R1S didn't change. Only after sitting overnight so far.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2024 Rivian R1S so service can see what you saw. Then you'll know the next fork. That's the sequence I'd use. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

On “how should a forum discuss a breaking,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Rivian R1S in Las Vegas with 26,500 miles. Do that first. Cold start is when I can actually reproduce it.

Fair point. Counterpoint: Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Rivian R1S charge sessions. That's where I'd start. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2024 Rivian R1S — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. That's where I'd start. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Same neighborhood, different next step: Leave the alerts on the 2024 Rivian R1S so service can see what you saw. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2024 Rivian R1S in Las Vegas with 26,500 miles. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. Heat soak after errands is the other window.

Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.

On “how should a forum discuss a breaking,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the whole play. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Rivian R1S charge sessions. I'd do that before spending real money. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. Make the next action something you can finish this week. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
