## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2018 Rolls\-Royce Ghost vehicles.  The head air bags in these vehicles may have been damaged during vehicle assembly, possibly causing the head air bags to not fully inflate upon deployment.


## What can happen

If the head air bag does not inflate properly in a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.


## The remedy

None of the affected vehicles have been delivered to customers, therefore, owner notification letters will not be sent.  Rolls\-Royce dealers will inspect and replace the head air bags, as necessary, free of charge.  Owners may contact Rolls\-Royce customer service at 1\-877\-877\-3735.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
