Electric truck and SUV maker Rivian Automotive confirmed on Friday it is recalling almost all the vehicles it has produced to tighten a loose fastener vehicles’ front suspension.

Riian Automotive is recalling 12,212 electric pickups, vans, and SUVs because a fastener connecting the vehicles’ front upper-control arm and steering knuckle may be insufficiently torqued.

Rivian said they received seven reports potentially related to the issue but have not received any reports of injuries.

“If you experience excessive noise, vibration, or harshness from the front suspension, or a change in steering performance or feel, you should call immediately,” Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe wrote in a letter to vehicle owners.

Rivian Automotive, based in Irvine, California, said the fix would only take a few minutes and complete the repairs on all vehicles in about 30 days, with customer collaboration.
