Rolls-Royce recalls Spectre models in Australia over a brake system issue.

Rolls-Royce has issued a recall for its 2023-2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre in Australia due to a possible issue with the braking system.

The recall notice, filed with the Department of Infrastructure, states that a manufacturing defect might cause signal interference in the brake system’s electronics. This could mean drivers need to apply more force to the brake pedal, with the anti-lock braking system and stability control potentially not working.

Drivers will be warned of the issue by a brake warning light on the dashboard, along with a message on the central display.

Rolls-Royce advises drivers to follow the instructions provided and contact their nearest Rolls-Royce dealer.

Although the vehicle can still be controlled, the need for increased pedal force and a possible longer braking distance could reduce braking performance, raising the risk of accidents that could harm occupants, pedestrians, and other road users.

This issue with the Rolls-Royce Spectre comes after a similar global recall for BMW, Mini, and Alpina vehicles, including over 26,000 in Australia.

Around 23 vehicles have been affected by the Spectre recall.

Rolls-Royce will contact the owners of the affected vehicles to arrange for the brake unit to be replaced free of charge when parts are available.
