Rivian Position Statement: Pre- And Post- Repair System Scanning
I-CAR · December 11, 2024 · Rivian
Summary
This Rivian position statement mandates that both pre-repair and post-repair system scans must be performed on all vehicles involved in a collision. These scans are necessary to detect hidden damage, module disconnections, or sensor faults that may not be visually apparent, and to verify that all systems are fully operational.
What to do on the job
Perform a pre-repair and post-repair scan on all Rivian collision vehicles using Rivian factory diagnostic equipment.
How to use it
Use this position statement to justify the necessity and cost of both pre- and post-repair diagnostic scans on all Rivian vehicles. It serves as official OEM documentation to defend against insurer pushback regarding scanning requirements, emphasizing that hidden electronic faults cannot be detected without factory diagnostic equipment.
