AIR BAGS
- 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.
- Consequence
- If the head air bag does not inflate properly in a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.
- 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.
