Affected Years: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 Rivian R1S. Our law firm is also investigating 2025, 2026 Rivian R1S for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the Air Compressor/Springs.
Most of today’s vehicles depend on computers and sensors for many different things. From the configuration of the ride to navigation, software updates are important. Updates to the software running these features are a critical part of the maintenance program. From the speed or function of the engine to getting information about mileage, what the driver receives is only as good as the hardware that is feeding data to the software. Loss of luxury features like the backup camera, tire pressures, or outside temperature is far from critical. But when the system is telling you how fast you might be going, it needs to be accurate to ensure your safety and that you are not going to get a ticket for speeding. Not only do we depend on auto technology, but it also needs to be accurate.
When you discover that your Rivian R1S suspension system is not functioning correctly because of a component issue, you are going to end up at the dealer. The creaks and sounds coming from the suspension don’t sound normal at all. When you are dealing with the issues that can impact the functionality or safety of the car, you know it is time to get a hold of the dealership and get these issues fixed. The thought process is straightforward. The manufacturer built the vehicle and understands the tech, so they are sure to be able to easily correct the issues.

The Symptoms And Solutions Of The 2021 – 2024 Rivian R1S Suspension Noise Issues
When you are the owner of a 2021 – 2024 Rivian R1S and suffering repeated trips to the dealer, it’s annoying. It is unexpected, as well as inconvenient. The owners are reporting many significant issues with their Rivian R1S suspension, which has them dealing with the following sounds and symptoms:
- The R1S sits unevenly. This often indicates a leak at the valve block
- Poor ride quality. This is often reported as too hard or too soft after service
- Dash error messages. Too high or too low, even though the ride height seems standard
- Noisy sounds. Squeaks and chirps coming from dry components or bushings
The repairs can be as simple as a soft reset or a hard reset to the suspension, operating the vehicle at either end of the adjustment spectrum for the soft version. For the hard reset, hold the far-left steering wheel button and hazard light button simultaneously until the screen goes black to reboot the vehicle computer.
Diagnosis of this type of issue can also be done by taking a quick look at the tire wear. If you are having suspension components fail, the tires will typically start to wear unevenly. The solution is, of course to replace the failing control arm or component, which is typically done under warranty. Do not forget to replace the tires that were showing wear as well. It can be overlooked as normal wear. The team at Guardian Lemon Law will provide you with a Rivian R1S air suspension malfunction lemon lawyer if the manufacturer cannot resolve this issue.
