JAKARTA - Luxury car consumers certainly demand flawless quality. However, even premium SUVs with a price tag of hundreds of thousands of dollars still have the potential to experience technical problems. Rolls-Royce recently announced a limited recall for the Cullinan model.

This was done after finding that the possibility of the rear seat belt bolts were not firmly attached during the production process. For the time being, owners are asked not to use the back seat or the luggage area until the inspection is carried out.

Vehicle recalls can occur for a variety of reasons, ranging from safety issues to trivial things like label errors. In this case, the findings began with an internal road test.

The manufacturer revealed that during the test, a rattling sound was heard which was later traced to the bolts holding the seat belt. Launching from Carscoops, Monday, March 23, the findings prompted a thorough technical investigation.

From the results of the examination, Rolls-Royce realized that the Cullinan unit produced since November 27, 2019 has the potential to have a less tight bolt at the same point. As a follow-up, as many as 102 units produced until November 19, 2025 are included in the recall list.

The technician will then check and ensure that the bolts are installed according to the specified specification standards. If the bolts are loose, the rear seat belt is feared to be unable to provide optimal protection in the event of an accident.

In certain conditions, the back seat backrest can also be pushed forward due to the shifting of items in the trunk, thus increasing the risk of injury. Therefore, owners are advised not to use the back seat or store items in the trunk before the vehicle is inspected.

Rolls-Royce insists there have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to this problem. The necessary repairs are relatively simple and will be carried out at no cost to consumers.

Notifications to owners are scheduled to begin being sent in May 2026. Although the number of units affected is relatively small, this step shows the manufacturer's commitment to maintaining the safety standards of its products.
