Plain-English summary

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2018 Rolls-Royce Ghost vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where head air bags may have been damaged during vehicle assembly. This damage could cause the head air bags to not fully inflate upon deployment in a crash.

If the head air bag does not inflate properly, it can increase the risk of injury to occupants. None of the affected vehicles have been delivered to customers, so owner notification letters will not be sent. Rolls-Royce dealers will inspect and replace the head air bags, as necessary, free of charge.
