## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain model year 2015\-2016 Rolls\-Royce Phantom vehicles manufactured May 22, 2015, to September 23, 2015.  The affected vehicles have left and right side curtain air bags that may not have been manufactured properly.


## What can happen

As a result of the improper manufacturing, the air bags may not position themselves as intended during deployment, increasing the risk of occupant injury in the event of a vehicle crash.


## The remedy

Rolls\-Royce will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the side curtain air bags, as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on January 16, 2016.  Owners may contact Rolls\-Royce customer relations at 1\-877\-877\-3735.
