The Central Gateway Module is the routing hub of the R1T's vehicle network: it brokers messages between the CAN/Ethernet domains, gates OTA update delivery, and manages the wake/sleep state of the rest of the modules. When the CGM fails, the truck goes fully unresponsive — it wil… Repairs typically run $0-$2,500. Severity: high.
R1T and R1S report 12V drain after long parking — particularly with Gear Guard (cabin/exterior camera surveillance) enabled, which keeps cellular modem and cameras active. Owners report dead 12V in 7-14 days without Gear Guard, faster with it. Multiple OTA updates have improved p… Repairs typically run $0-$400. Severity: medium.
Multiple owner reports of the charge port door motor failing — door refuses to open via app/touchscreen/button, sometimes stuck open after charge session. Cold weather amplifies failure rate. Rivian replaces under warranty; some early VINs received recall for related door-latch b… Repairs typically run $0-$700. Severity: medium.
R1T and R1S center display and driver display can freeze, reboot mid-drive, or go black entirely — particularly during cellular handoffs (entering/leaving tunnel), after wake from sleep, or during OTA installation.

The R1T's motorized hard tonneau cover over the bed is an R1T-exclusive assembly (the R1S has no equivalent) built from articulated panels driven by a single motor.

On R1T pickups produced between September 9, 2023 and March 25, 2024, the headlamps left the factory aimed slightly too low and do not meet current production specification or the beam-pattern and intensity requirements of FMVSS 108. The practical consequence is insufficient forw… Repairs typically run $0-$0. Severity: medium.
The gear tunnel is an R1T-exclusive storage compartment between the cab and the bed, closed by two powered drop-down doors. Owners report two opposing failure modes.
