NCAP overall
2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
HEAT GENERATED BY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS MAY CAUSE DETERIORATION OF HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSES ON CERTAIN VEHICLES. BRAKE HOSE MAY FAIL, RESULTING IN LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID FROM THE DUAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.
Remedy
DEALER WILL REPLACE HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSES AND INSTALL A HEAT SHIELD TO PROTECT THEM, WITHOUT CHARGE.
Defect
THE VEHICLE MAY REMAIN ON AUTOMATIC CRUISE CONTROL EVEN WHEN DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE. THIS MALFUNCTION MAY OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy
AS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, DEALER WILL REMOVE THE SLEEVE BALL CHAIN LINKING THE BELLOWS VACUUM ASSEMBLY TO THE ACCELERATOR THROTTLE LINKAGE.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 2 recalls should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting the 1978 Rolls-Royce Camargue. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
