## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling one model year 2015 Rolls\-Royce Ghost manufactured on January 23, 2014.  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."


## What can happen

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


## The remedy

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.  Owners may contact Rolls\-Royce at 1\-877\-877\-3735.
