Rolls-Royce bulletin RRA12202103
Rolls-Royce filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Dec 6, 2021, received Jan 24, 2022, about the equipment. It names 2 model years (2020–2021). 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.
What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationThe affected vehicles have been identified as having a potential issue concerning the rear brake carrier fixings. It could be possible that during the rear axle assembly, the rear brake carriers were fitted with incorrect fixing (T orx El4 instead of the correct El6).

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Rolls-Royce RRA12202103 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 RRA12202103 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 RRA12202103 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2021 Rolls-Royce Dawn, 2020 Rolls-Royce Dawn. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
