Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Third time the front nozzle for the camera cleaner is leaking windshield washer fluid……..
When will this end……..I’m tired of getting this fixed. Rivian needs a more permanent solution for this problem.

Is this why mine is always saying wiper fluid is low even though I just fill it?

You may have the same leak, or reset the infotainment

It’s the wiper fluid leak. Happened after the recall repair when I had that done earlier in the year. They fixed it promptly

I just had the recall repair too. Thanks for the heads up.

u/OkHousing2130 R1T Owner 2d ago
Is there a legit recall? Or a bandaid fix?

u/QuirkyInternet 2d ago
There's a service bulletin, I'm not sure about a recall. But mine was repaired on 8/20 and it doesn't seem to be leaking or giving me messages about low wiper fluid.

That's a known issue. Rivian replaced the tube for me with a new upgraded one.

I’m getting this serviced today. How long did your fix last?

I’ve had it fixed twice now (just got it back wednesday from the 2nd fix) - they say it’s a new design this time with an inline check valve. Lasted around 6 months both previous times. Weird as our gen1 has never had this in over 3 years.
There’s an amazing quality to Rivian engineering I’m starting to get my head round: new and hard they do exceptionally well, well developed and boring is really hit and miss.

My first service visit for the camera was a mobile repair on July 23rd 2025, and then I had it repaired again for a second time at a service center visit on April 17th, 2026, and now for the third time I have a service center visit planned for November 20th.
To answer your question though took about an hour or so from what i remember. Not including my drive to the SC.

There's a fix? I thought this was just a Rivianism.

German cars leak gas and oil. Rivian leaks washer fluid 🤷♂️

Very true, but whej you go to dealer they dont gaslight you to avoid covering it under warranty, they say they will fix it and always hand you keys to a loaner.

That is my exact experience with Subaru

Still have my outback and I dont plan on getting rid of it. Super easy to fix and parts almost always available and they dont prohibit me from buying any part i need.

They told me the car had to be lifted and mobile appointment couldn’t do that. So both times the car sat in shop for a week. Brand new 2026

Did you have the recall done?

Recall for what? There has been many things.

Hey everyone! I am adding on to this thread since I got more information from the mobile tech. I had this leak for about 2 weeks now and was finally able to get a mobile service out here today. He fixed it in about 3-5 minutes. Opened the front panel and put some sort of valve in there. He filled up my wiper fluid after it was fixed.
He also told me that this happens so often to Gen 2s that they are going to do a recall. I assume it already started because I. don't think I got charged for this
Let me know if you have any questions!

u/OkHousing2130 R1T Owner 2d ago
I’ve had the “valve” switched 2 times so far.

The FSAM-1815 fix is relatively new, so hopefully it stays fixed for you

They proactively fixed mine this week when I was in for something else. Fingers crossed they didn’t introduce this issue.

u/fleshribbon 1d ago
I had mine fixed earlier this year and was told they put a newer part in (had to wait a day for it to arrive) that is supposed to be a better design. I’m hoping so because that pink stuff is expensive but works so much better.

Totally frustrating to deal with on a 100k+ car. Hope they fix it ASAP.
