Rolls-Royce Phantom Recall 22V721: Headlights May Not Light Road Signs Well at Night

NHTSA campaign 22V721, reported September 28, 2022, 2 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The headlights on certain vehicles may not have received a metal coating during production. Without this coating, the low beams may not adequately illuminate road signs, which can make signs difficult for the driver to read. The vehicles also do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps and reflective devices.

Difficulty reading road signs can increase the risk of a crash, particularly when driving at night or in poor visibility.

Dealers will replace the headlights free of charge. The affected vehicles are still at dealerships, so owners will not receive a notification letter by mail. If you have questions, contact Rolls-Royce customer service at 1-877-877-3735, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
