History

Historical Context

After Takata’s faulty airbag inflators sparked a U.S.-wide recall of 34 million units in May 2015—then the largest automotive recall—regulators have pressed makers to fix software flaws quickly. Rivian’s 2024 recall of 98,828 trucks and SUVs for a rear-view camera defect follows this trend, echoing earlier NHTSA actions against Takata and other OEMs.
