DATANot crash-tested
The 2024 Rivian R1T has not been subjected to federal crash testing and therefore lacks an official Safety Index or NHTSA star ratings. Its crashworthiness remains unassessed by these specific metrics. The federal record indicates a Light recall and complaint burden band, with six recall campaigns issued. These campaigns address components including seat belts, suspension, airbags, and headlights. Additionally, seven unverified owner complaints have been filed, none of which report crashes, fires, injuries, or fatalities. The absence of laboratory test data for this model year precludes any definitive statement on its crash safety.
The 2024 Rivian R1T was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries six recall campaigns, and falls in the Light recall and complaint burden band according to NHTSA federal safety data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Rivian R1t?
The 2024 R1T's safety record is marked by a series of fastener-related recalls that span critical vehicle systems. Two separate campaigns address seat belt anchors, one targets suspension toe links, and another concerns air bag trim clips. This concentration of fastener issues within a single model year is a notable feature of its federal record. A fifth recall addresses headlight aim. Despite these five distinct recall categories, the vehicle has generated a low volume of owner complaints, with only seven on file. These complaints report zero crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths. The combination of these factors places the 2024 R1T in the Light burden band, a classification reflecting the number of recalls rather than their severity or actual crash performance. No NHTSA crash-test results are available for the 2024 R1T, nor are there any tested sibling model years for comparison.
NHTSA // RECALLSDoes the 2024 Rivian R1t have any recalls?
The 2024 R1T is named in five of the six campaigns on record: second-row seat belt fasteners, toe-link suspension fasteners on previously serviced vehicles, front seat belt D-ring anchor bolts, upper B-pillar and C-pillar air bag attachment clips, and improperly aimed headlights. No park-outside or do-not-drive advisory appears in the data provided. The sixth campaign covers seat belt critical fasteners on a broader 2022-2025 model range and includes the 2024 year.
