ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM
- The defect
- BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2024 Rolls Royce Spectre electric vehicles. The ground connection cable between the front electric motor and the vehicle chassis may contain adhesive residue which can increase electrical resistance and cause an insufficient ground.
- What it can cause
- An insufficient electrical ground can increase the risk of electric shock during service work, and also increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the ground cable connection and remove any residue as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 29, 2024. Owners may contact Rolls Royce customer service at 1-877-877-3735.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 107 vehicles this is a small campaign: 69% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Rolls-Royce vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system once before this, most recently in September 2023 as 23V645000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V422000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 24V697000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 24V104000 (electronic stability control (esc)).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by BMW of North America, LLC with NHTSA on January 24, 2024 as campaign 24V039000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
