Rolls-Royce Ghost Recall for Incorrect Tire Information Label

NHTSA recalls 2012 Rolls-Royce Ghost vehicles because the tire label incorrectly lists 19-inch tires instead of the installed 20-inch tires.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where tire failure could increase the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported.

Plain-English summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a recall for certain model year 2012 Rolls-Royce Ghost passenger vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured between March 27, 2012, and July 13, 2012. The defect involves a tire information label that states the vehicles are equipped with 19-inch tires, while they are actually equipped with 20-inch tires. This labeling error does not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, “Tire Selection and Rims.”

The incorrect tire placard information, such as an incorrect recommended pressure, may lead to tire inflation errors. These errors could result in tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash. Rolls-Royce initially petitioned NHTSA in July 2012 to classify the issue as inconsequential to vehicle safety. However, in April 2013, the manufacturer notified NHTSA that all vehicles had been remedied and rescinded the petition request.

Owners of the affected vehicles have already received corrected tire information labels. Consequently, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign. Owners may contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov for more information.
