Details

What's wrong: 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. As such, this vehicle may fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 214, "side impact protection."

Why it matters: In the event of a vehicle crash necessitating air bag deployment, this may increase the risk of injury to the front seat passengers.

The fix: A Rolls-Royce dealer will replace the driver-side and passenger-side thorax air bag modules, free of charge. The recall began October 22, 2015.
