Rivian Restraints Wiring

Summary
Rivian allows supplemental restraints system (SRS) wiring repairs only to a limited degree, specifically permitting squib (pigtail) replacements for harnesses connecting to airbags, airbag sensors, seatbelt pretensioners, and pyrotechnic HV disconnection switches. Repairs must be performed using Rivian-compatible replacement squib pigtails, non-insulated crimp barrels, and adhesive shrink tubing, while repairs on wiring damaged by flooding or thermal events are strictly forbidden.
What to do on the job
Only perform squib (pigtail) replacements on SRS wiring harnesses using Rivian-compatible parts, non-insulated crimp barrels, and adhesive shrink tubing, and never repair wires damaged by flooding or thermal events.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the replacement of SRS pigtails/squibs rather than replacing the entire wiring harness, provided a Rivian-compatible pigtail is available. If the harness has suffered flood or thermal damage, use this document to defend a full harness replacement as repairs are strictly forbidden in those scenarios.
