53 recalls across 14 models
Rolls-Royce has 14 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1975 through 2026. Across those models, 52 recall campaigns are recorded, with a notably concentrated severity profile: 37% fall into the Critical tier and 40% into the High tier under the severity rating system, meaning 77% of all campaigns carry the two highest designations. Critical recalls typically involve conditions such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, or failures with direct injury potential, while High recalls cover defects that fall just short of that threshold but still present meaningful risk to occupants and others on the road. Medium recalls account for 19% of the total, and Low recalls make up the remaining 4%, with no Informational campaigns recorded across the lineup.
The Phantom and Ghost are tied as the most-recalled models, each carrying 12 recall campaigns in the database. The Cullinan follows at 7 recalls, with the remaining campaigns distributed across 11 other models ranging from the Silver Shadow era through current production. Because the overall campaign count is relatively compact at 52 across five decades and 14 models, the concentration of activity in the Critical and High tiers means the majority of recorded issues involve consequential defect categories rather than informational notices or minor technical corrections.
