Rolls-Royce bulletin RRA09202005UC
Rolls-Royce filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 1, 2020, received Oct 19, 2020, about the fuel system, gasoline. It names 13 model years (2016–2021). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Rolls-Royce RRA09202005UC a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the RRA09202005UC repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does RRA09202005UC cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 13 model years: 2021 Rolls-Royce Dawn, 2020 Rolls-Royce Dawn, 2017 Rolls-Royce Dawn, 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost, 2020 Rolls-Royce Ghost, 2018 Rolls-Royce Ghost and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
