The defect
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan vehicles. The brake lights may not be bright enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Without a sufficient level of brightness from the brake lights, the vehicle may have reduced visibility to other drivers when braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will notify owners, and Rolls-Royce Motor Car dealers will update the brake light software, free of charge. The recall began October 22, 2019. Owners may contact Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Customer Relations and Services at 1-866-230-4956 or at customer.relations@rolls-roycemotorcarsna.com.
