Rolls-Royce Cullinan Recall 19V612: Brake Lights May Be Too Dim, Raising Crash Risk

NHTSA campaign 19V612, reported August 21, 2019, 403 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain vehicles may have brake lights that are not bright enough. Dim brake lights fail to meet federal lighting safety requirements and can make it harder for following drivers to see when you are slowing or stopping.

With reduced brake light brightness, other drivers may not notice you are braking in time, which increases the risk of a rear-end crash.

The repair is free. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will notify owners, and authorized dealers will update the brake light software at no charge. You can contact Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Customer Relations at 1-866-230-4956 or [email protected], and you should check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
