Rivian recalls, 2023 BMW M2, 2024 BMW X2: a week in reverse

Rivian recalls nearly all its vehicles, the 2023 BMW M2 breaks cover, and the 2024 BMW X2 begins testing. This is the Week in Reverse, brought to you by the Motor Authority.

Rivian has announced a recall of nearly all vehicles it manufactured. The problem stems from improperly tightened fasteners on the steering knuckles that can loosen and separate. As a result, the controllability of the vehicle could be compromised. To correct this problem, a simple inspection and tightening to a torque of 90 lb-ft is all that is needed.

HBO has released a trailer for a documentary titled "The Fastest Woman on Earth." The film delves into Jessi Combs' attempt to break the land speed record, a goal that ultimately killed Combs in 2019.

The 2023 BMW M2 debuted with 453 hp and a base price of $63,195. The coupe's design is as controversial as most of the current BMW lineup, but its powertrain will please enthusiasts with a turbo six under the hood, mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

The 2024 Polestar 3 became a reality with its debut in Copenhagen. This electric crossover SUV will rival the Porsche Cayenne with 517 hp and a 300-mile range, pushing the automaker into the mainstream segment.

The 2024 BMW X2 has begun testing on both public roads and the track as the redesigned compact crossover prepares to enter its next generation. The new X2 will feature a floating screen wall above the dashboard and a more upright design.
