The 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom has 2 recalls, both concerning the rearview camera system failing to display an image when the vehicle is reversed, raising the risk of a collision while backing up.
The central information display screen may not rise to the correct position when the vehicle is unlocked or the driver's door is opened, leaving the rearview camera image invisible while reversing. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, and both filings point to the same practical result: the driver loses rear visibility at low speed when it matters most.
