An electric vehicle maker backed by Amazon is recalling around 12,000 of its vehicles over an improperly fastened bolt that could increase the risk of a crash.

The company, Rivian which makes upscale electric SUVs and trucks, reported a defect in three models in which a fastener in the steering system may have been inadequately tightened, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
