From faulty ignition switches to injury-causing air bags and everything in between, it seems that no carmaker has been immune to the decade’s relentless rash of recalls.
And now, even iconic luxury brand Rolls-Royce has joined the hoi polloi with its recall of a car. One car. Just one.
According to media reports, Rolls’ parent company BMW of America L.L.C. and the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration issued the notice to recall a 2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost, with a base price of $289,000 the automaker’s entry level car, built on Jan. 23, 2014.
“The affected vehicle has thorax air bags fitted to both front seats that may fail to meet the side impact performance requirements for the front seat occupants,” according to the agency’s notice.
Luckily for the owner, the fix will be free of charge.
