Limited data — recalls on file

NCAP overall
2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
THERE IS INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER HYDRAULIC LINE AND THE ENGINE OIL COOLER LINE. IF THE LINES COME IN CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER, THE CHAFING MAY DAMAGE THE BRAKE LINE AND CAUSE A FLUID LEAK.
Consequence
HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAK COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKES WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy
ADD A PROTECTIVE SHIELD TO PREVENT CONTACT AND REPLACE ANY DAMAGED HYDRAULIC PIPE.
Defect
THE FUSE IN THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER CIRCUIT MAY BLOW DUE TO THE AMPERAGE LOAD EXCEEDING FUSE CAPACITY.
Consequence
REAR STOP LAMPS, EXCEPT THE HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP, WOULD FAIL. THERE MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT STOP SIGNAL WARNING TO THE FOLLOWING TRAFFIC WHICH MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy
INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL FUSED CIRCUIT TO HANDLE THE MAIN STOP LAMPS.
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 1990 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
