Common Problems & Reliability
The 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost (Mk2) has 3 known issues. 1 of these are classified as serious faults that could be expensive to repair. 2 are moderate concerns worth inspecting before purchase.
Instrument Cluster Tempered Glass Shatter Safety Defect (DVSA Recall R/2023/275)
SeriousGhost models manufactured between October 2019 and December 2022 were equipped with single-layer tempered glass protecting the digital instrument cluster. Crash testing revealed that under high-speed side impacts, this tempered glass could fracture into small, sharp fragments and propel into the passenger cabin. Official DVSA recall R/2023/275 was issued requiring dealers to apply an anti-shatter protective coating or film over the cluster glass free of charge.
Symptoms: Recall campaign notice R/2023/275 active on UK DVSA vehicle check, Single-layer tempered glass present over digital gauge cluster without safety coating...
Est. repair cost: £0 (Manufacturer recall / £1,800–£3,500 if replaced out-of-pocket)
Planar Air Suspension Upper Wishbone Damper and Ride Height Sensor Wear
ModerateThe Ghost Mk2 utilizes a world-first Planar suspension architecture incorporating an upper wishbone damper unit mounted directly above the front wishbones alongside three-chamber air springs and stereo road-reading cameras. Driven on potholed UK roads, the upper wishbone dampers and articulated ride height sensors experience heavy cyclic stress. Damper seal weeping or sensor linkage play causes ride height deviations, knocking noises, and suspension fault warnings.
Symptoms: Subtle knocking or tapping noise from front wheelarch when traversing low-speed potholes, Car sitting noticeably lower on one corner after being parked overnight...
Est. repair cost: £1,500–£3,800
Emergency Call (eCall) Telematics Module Coding Error (DVSA Recall R/2022/247)
ModerateDuring production between March 2022 and June 2022, a factory coding error assigned an incorrect software option code to the telematics control module. This accidentally blocked cellular connected services, leaving the mandatory automated Emergency Call (eCall) system inoperative. The UK DVSA issued safety recall R/2022/247 requiring authorized dealers to install a fresh vehicle configuration order to unblock connected services and re-enable eCall functionality.
Symptoms: 'Emergency Call System Malfunction' warning displayed on central touchscreen, Inability to connect to SOS emergency services or Rolls-Royce connected concierge...
Est. repair cost: £0 (Manufacturer recall / £350–£800 diagnostic software reflash)
Buying Tips for the 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost (Mk2)
- Confirm via DVSA records that safety recall R/2023/275 for the instrument cluster glass protective coating has been completed
- Check that the car has been maintained on a smart battery conditioner to avoid low-voltage faults in the 48V active anti-roll system
- Operate all motorized power-closing and power-opening coach doors repeatedly to ensure pinch sensors and electric motors work smoothly
- Inspect the Planar air suspension for correct self-levelling and absence of knocking noises from the upper wishbone dampers
- Check tyre tread depths across all four corners; all-wheel steering and 2.5-tonne weight can scrub tyre shoulders rapidly
