2024 Rivian R1S — how should a forum discuss a breaking recall before every VIN is loaded? — second opinion before I spend money

WrenchNerdCommunity StarterJul 21, 20262024 Rivian R1S Dual-MotorCleveland
2024 Rivian R1S Dual-Motor, about 20,500 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? If I figure it out I will update the thread.

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. Do that first. I keep a notes app thread for this now.

Happens in gear, not in park, for what that's worth.

Tried a second charger / second scan and the story on the 2024 Rivian R1S didn't change. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

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. I'd do that before spending real money. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. Happens in gear, not in park, for what that's worth.

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. That's where I'd start. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. I keep a notes app thread for this now.

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. Then you'll know the next fork. Any freeze-frame data saved? Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.

No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

Asking because it changes the advice: Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Rivian R1S charge sessions. I'd do that before spending real money. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Quick add on that: Leave the alerts on the 2024 Rivian R1S so service can see what you saw. I'd do that before spending real money. That's the sequence I'd use. I'd rather be boring and correct. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.

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. This is from a 2024 Rivian R1S in Cleveland with 20,500 miles. That's the whole play. Only after sitting overnight so far.

This is from a 2024 Rivian R1S in Cleveland with 20,500 miles. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop.
