NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2018 Rolls-Royce Ghost vehicles. The head air bags in these vehicles may have been damaged during vehicle assembly, possibly causing the head air bags to not fully inflate upon deployment.
The risk
If the head air bag does not inflate properly in a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.
The remedy
None of the affected vehicles have been delivered to customers, therefore, owner notification letters will not be sent. Rolls-Royce dealers will inspect and replace the head air bags, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Rolls-Royce customer service at 1-877-877-3735.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
