The 2017 Rolls-Royce Dawn has 3 recalls, all involving seat-mounted side airbags that may fail to deploy in a crash, leaving occupants without that layer of protection when they need it most.
Two of the recalls describe the same underlying issue: the inflator initiator inside the seat-mounted side airbag can fail to ignite during a crash, meaning the bag simply does not deploy. The third recall covers a related concern where the side airbag inflators do not meet specifications, which can also result in the bag failing to deploy properly. All three issues point to the same real-world outcome: in a side-impact crash, the airbag may not provide the cushioning it is designed to offer.
