Suspension Vehicle recall #06V327000 · 2006 · 32 vehicles

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the lower rubber mount of the rear shock absorbers May not have been manufactured to specifications and May not adhere correctly to its housing within the shock absorber.

Why it matters: The bushing could loosen and over time could separate from its housing. The driver will experience impaired vehicle handling and control increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the rear shock absorber free of charge. The recall began on September 14, 2006.

Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #10V447000 · 2010 · 2,552 vehicles

What's wrong: A check valve of the brake vacuum pump May leak a small amount of lubricating oil. Over time this could result in contamination of the brake booster.

Why it matters: Power assist braking performance could be adversely affected. In extreme cases there could be a complete loss of power assist braking. An unexpected reduction or loss in power braking assist May increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Rolls-royce will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on November 19, 2010.
