Luxury car maker Rolls-Royce has announced a recall of 39 of its Ghost limousines in Australia. The recall is due to concerns that the glass interior display screens in these vehicles could shatter during a crash, potentially causing serious injury.

The recall was issued as a precautionary measure, as the screens have the potential to throw broken glass into the cabin if the car is involved in a side-impact crash. The company's recall notice states that if the display screen shatters, glass fragments could be propelled at high speed towards the driver and vehicle occupants.

The affected models include the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Ghost Extended Wheelbase, and Ghost Black Badge, all manufactured between 2019 and 2023. Owners of these vehicles are advised to contact their preferred Rolls-Royce dealer to arrange an inspection and repair, which will be provided free of charge.

Ensuring the safety of its customers is a top priority for Rolls-Royce, and the company is taking this recall seriously to prevent any potential harm or injury. By promptly addressing the issue and offering free inspections and repairs, Rolls-Royce aims to provide peace of mind to its customers.
