Abstract

The article discusses an investigation initiated by U.S. auto safety regulators into Rivian Automotive Inc. concerning potential seat belt issues in its electric delivery vans. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has identified six reports of failures related to the seat belt anchorage system, specifically noting that the steel braided cable may fray or break, which could leave occupants unrestrained during a crash. The preliminary evaluation will assess the severity of the issue across approximately 17,198 vans produced between 2022 and 2023. Rivian maintains that its vehicles meet all safety requirements and expresses willingness to cooperate with the investigation. [Extracted from the article]
