Rolls-Royce Phantom Headlight Coating Defect Recall

BMW is recalling 2023 Rolls-Royce Phantom vehicles because headlights may lack metal coating, causing low beams to fail FMVSS 108 and increasing crash risk.

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 (vehicle lighting) where the defect increases the risk of a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2023 Rolls-Royce Phantom vehicles. The defect involves headlights that may not have received a metal coating application. This can result in the low beams not adequately illuminating road signs, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Devices."

The source states that improperly illuminated road signs may be difficult for the driver to read, which increases the risk of a crash. The affected vehicles are currently at dealerships, so no owner notification letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Rolls-Royce customer service at 1-877-877-3735 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.

Dealers will replace the headlights free of charge to correct the issue.
