I-CAR · April 10, 2025 · Rivian
Summary
This Rivian guideline outlines the inspection and replacement requirements for steering system components following an accident. It mandates the replacement of the steering column, clockspring, and steering wheel if the steering wheel airbag deploys, and requires new fasteners for all steering, brake, and suspension replacements.
What to do on the job
Replace the steering column, clockspring, and steering wheel if the steering wheel airbag has deployed, and always use new fasteners for steering, brake, and suspension components.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the replacement of the steering column, clockspring, and steering wheel whenever a steering wheel airbag deployment has occurred. It also serves as official documentation to support the necessity of a 4-wheel alignment, ADAS calibrations, steering angle sensor resets, and one-time-use fasteners during steering or suspension repairs.
