EZ Swap LLC services the Rivian EDV in Phoenix, AZ, covering model years 2022. If your EDV has a warning light, a strange noise or a safety recall question, our mechanics can diagnose it and give you a clear quote first.
To help EDV owners know what to watch for, we reviewed public records from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). For these model years NHTSA has 7 owner complaints on file for the EDV and 2 safety recall campaigns. The most-reported problem areas are seat belts (5), power train (1).
Most-Reported Rivian EDV Problems
These problem areas come up most often in NHTSA owner complaints for the EDV (all model years combined). Complaint counts reflect reports filed, not the share of vehicles affected, so popular and older models naturally have more.
| Problem area (NHTSA component) | Complaints | Share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seat Belts | 5 | 71% | |
| Power Train | 1 | 14% | |
| Air Bags | 1 | 14% |
Seat Belts
5 of the 7 complaints (71%) mention airbags and seat belts. Airbag and restraint issues are often tied to open safety recalls, which are repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to you. Check your VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup first, and we can help with related warning lights and diagnostics. See our auto repair page.
Power Train
1 of the 7 complaints (14%) mention the powertrain. Powertrain complaints can range from rough shifting to loss of drive. We road test, scan for stored codes and inspect fluids before recommending any repair. See our auto repair page.
Rivian EDV Check Engine Codes
NHTSA owner complaints rarely cite specific trouble codes for the EDV, so we do not have a model-specific ranking to show. These are the check engine codes we see most often on vehicles in Phoenix heat, and any of them can show up on a Rivian.
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| P0420 | Catalyst efficiency below threshold (bank 1) Often a worn catalytic converter, but failing oxygen sensors or exhaust leaks can set it too. Can cause an emissions test failure. |
| P0300 | Random or multiple cylinder misfire Worn spark plugs, failing ignition coils, fuel or vacuum problems. Do not ignore a flashing check engine light. |
| P0171 | System too lean (bank 1) Often a vacuum leak, dirty MAF sensor, weak fuel delivery or a failing oxygen sensor. |
| P0455 | EVAP system large leak Missing or loose gas cap, or a disconnected or cracked vapor hose. |
| P0128 | Coolant temperature below thermostat regulating temperature Usually a thermostat stuck open. Fix it to restore efficiency and cabin heat. |
| P0442 | EVAP system small leak Loose or worn gas cap, cracked hose or purge or vent valve. |
| P0301 | Cylinder 1 misfire Commonly a bad spark plug or ignition coil on that cylinder. |
| P0401 | EGR flow insufficient Clogged EGR passages or a stuck EGR valve. |
Got a check engine light on your EDV? A code is a clue, not a diagnosis, so we scan it and test the system before replacing anything. See our check engine light diagnostics.
Rivian EDV Safety Recalls
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for the EDV in these model years, most often involving suspension, seat belts. Recalls are repaired by the manufacturer at no charge to you, but each applies only to certain vehicles. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
- 2025 recall, Seat Belts (campaign 25V816000): Rivian Automotive, LLC (Rivian) is recalling certain 2022-2025 EDV vehicles. The driver's seat belt pretensioner cable may become damaged.
- 2022 recall, Suspension (campaign 22V744000): Rivian Automotive, LLC (Rivian) is recalling certain 2022 R1T, R1S, and EDV vehicles. The fastener connecting the front upper control arm and steering knuckle may have been improperly tightened.
Keeping a Rivian EDV Reliable in Phoenix
Arizona heat is the hardest test a Rivian will face. Batteries, belts, hoses, tires and engine oil all wear faster here, and a EDV that spends its life in stop-and-go Valley traffic needs maintenance earlier than the owner's manual's normal schedule suggests.
Our recommendation for EDV owners: follow the severe-service schedule, test the battery before every summer, inspect brakes and tires twice a year, and have any warning light diagnosed instead of ignored. If you are shopping for a used Rivian EDV, a pre-purchase inspection shows what the paperwork does not.
