Rear Drive Unit Issues

Anyone else out there had their rear drive unit proactively replaced by Rivian? I took delivery of my performance dual motor R1S on 12/20/23. Took a 700 mile road trip with no issues. When I called to have some cosmetic fit and finish things fixed, the service center said they could get me in right away due to a flag/issue with the rear drive unit. I took my R1S in on 1/3 and it has now been there for 3 weeks. They first said it was a software issue, but now they are planning on replacing the rear drive unit a second time after already replacing it a week prior. This will now be the third rear drive unit and they can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong. So frustrating. How can I have 2 defective drive units? I would imagine these go through a QC process.
