Rivian Automotive (RIVN.US) stock plunged over 7.5% before the opening bell after the EV maker decided to recall 13,000 cars because the fastener to the front steering knuckle "may not have been sufficiently torqued" when the vehicles were manufactured.
"In rare circumstances, the fastener has loosened fully," Rivian’s Chief Executive Officer RJ Scaringe wrote on Friday. "I want to reiterate that this is extremely rare, but it does reinforce why we are acting with urgency and caution."
