What was reported

What that means, in plain English
Source: WhichTrim's reading of the filing above — not NHTSA's wordingLoose bolts can damage seat belt webbing or allow the backrest to move, potentially preventing adequate occupant restraint in a crash — a serious safety system degradation, though the 'do not use rear seats' advisory stops short of a full stop-drive order for the vehicle itself.
Written for us by a language model from the manufacturer's filed text, which is quoted in full above. Where the two differ, the filing is the record and this is only our summary of it.

The operation code and time the manufacturer pays the dealer; a customer-pay estimate elsewhere is a different number.
The advisory, as filed: “PLEASE DO NOT SELL, LEASE OR DELIVER ANY VEHICLE COVERED BY THIS NOTIFICATION UNTIL THE.”
Read from NHTSA’s copy of the manufacturer’s dealer documents. The procedure itself is in the bulletin; a franchised dealer has the current copy on the manufacturer’s portal, and that copy governs. Working a lot or a fleet? Recall Watch carries this line on every VIN it checks: remedy status, hours, stop-sale.
Which vehicles are covered
Source: NHTSA campaign 26V143000Vehicles built Nov 27, 2019 to Nov 19, 2025 — a VIN outside that window is not part of this campaign even if the year, make and model match.
| Model year | Class | Safety Signal | Recalls on file |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 Rolls-Royce Cullinan | Unclassified | A | 1 |
| 2021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan | Unclassified | B | 2 |
| 2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan | Unclassified | A | 1 |
| 2023 Rolls-Royce Cullinan | Unclassified | A | 1 |
| 2024 Rolls-Royce Cullinan | Unclassified | A | 1 |
| 2025 Rolls-Royce Cullinan | Large SUV | A | 1 |
| 2026 Rolls-Royce Cullinan | Large SUV | A | 1 |
Those are the model years inside WhichTrim's range, 2016 onward. The campaign may cover others outside it, and the only thing that settles whether one specific vehicle is included is its VIN.
How much of it has been fixed
Source: manufacturer quarterly report, 49 CFR 573.7of the campaign
2 quarters into the six-quarter reporting window, and still climbing.
This is the manufacturer's own cumulative count of vehicles it has inspected and repaired, divided by the vehicles the campaign covers. It files that count with NHTSA every quarter for six consecutive quarters, starting from the quarter in which owners were told a remedy was ready, and then the obligation ends — so a figure on an older campaign is where the count stopped, not where it stands today.
It rarely reaches 100%, and not because the work was not done. The same report asks manufacturers to count vehicles they could not reach at all — exported, stolen, scrapped, or simply never located — and those stay in the denominator. A low number means a lot of these vehicles are still out there unrepaired; it does not tell you which ones.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573Does this recall repair cost anything?
No. Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect or a compliance failure at no charge, for vehicles up to 15 years old measured from the date of first sale. A dealer that asks you to pay for a recall repair is in the wrong.
How do I know whether my vehicle is included?
By VIN, not by model year. This campaign covers vehicles built Nov 27, 2019 to Nov 19, 2025. The manufacturer files a build range with NHTSA and only vehicles inside it are covered, so two identical-looking cars from the same year can differ. NHTSA's own lookup checks a VIN against the manufacturer's list.
What if the repair is not available yet?
It happens, and often. Manufacturers must notify owners when a defect is found even if the parts or the software are not ready, then notify them a second time once the remedy exists. The remedy filed for this campaign is described above.
What did the manufacturer say was wrong?
The problem, risk and fix quoted on this page are the manufacturer's own words as filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR Part 573. WhichTrim does not paraphrase them.
Who started this recall?
NHTSA's record credits the manufacturer. A recall can begin with the manufacturer's own testing, with a defect investigation, or with a compliance test against a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
