12 recalls across 17 model years
The Rolls-Royce Phantom has 12 recalls spanning the 2003 to 2023 model years, with the most serious being a missing anti-misfueling device on 2013 models that can allow static electricity to ignite fuel during refueling, raising the risk of fire.
The most recent recall affects 2023 models, where headlights that did not receive a proper metal coating during manufacturing can fail to adequately illuminate road signs at night. On 2021 models, a seat belt retractor can fail to function correctly in a crash, reducing the restraint the belt provides to the occupant.
Rearview camera visibility is a recurring issue across several years. On 2019-2022 models, the central information display screen can fail to rise fully into position, partially blocking the camera image while backing up. The 2019 model year has a separate issue where the camera can retain a previously adjusted low-brightness, high-contrast setting and make the image difficult to see. The 2018 model year has a related problem where the display screen may not rise at all when the door is opened, leaving no camera image visible in reverse.
The 2015-2016 model years have a side curtain airbag recall where the bags can fail to position correctly during deployment, reducing their ability to protect occupants in a crash. Going back further, 2003-2010 models have a brake vacuum pump check valve that can leak oil into the brake booster over time, degrading power-assisted braking and in extreme cases eliminating it entirely. The 2006 model year has a rear shock absorber bushing that can loosen and eventually separate from its housing, impairing handling and vehicle control.
The 2004 model year has a compliance issue where daytime running lamps were not activated at the factory, though normal headlight function is unaffected.
