The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched an initial review of 17,198 Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) electric delivery vans amid questions about the performance of their seat belts.
The agency announced the investigation on Wednesday, targeting the seat belt systems in these commercial electric vehicles.
The evaluation will assess potential safety issues regarding how the seat belts operate in the affected Rivian vans. The NHTSA has not provided further information on specific complaints or incidents that may have triggered the review.
Preliminary evaluations are the first stage in NHTSA’s process, which could lead to a formal recall if defects are confirmed.
