Perrysburg, OH
SEAT BELTS
During operation the seatbelt connection to the pretensioner fell apart. There is a plastic housing that the seatbelt anchor is connected to. That metal anchor came apart from inside of the plastic housing and could not be reconnected. Vehicle will need a new seatbelt installed. The pretensioner mounting cable is still intact, just the connection plate to the plastic housing failed. The attached image shows the plastic housing and mounting cable separated.

The seatbelt pretensioner failed in the Rivian EDV 700. This is a common problem and puts drivers at serious risk of injury or death in an accident. The pretensioner comes apart without warning. We have seen this on several of the Rivian EDV 700s in our fleet.

The main seatbelt anchor cable (located near the drivers left side hip) broke during operation. This is a steel braided cable that secures the seatbelt to the seat. All strands of the cable severed entirely and left the driver unrestrained during operation. The broken part has been replaced by Rivian service. This is the third different vehicle in the last 30 days that this part has failed in the exact same manner.
