Recall 13V047 affects 27 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom vehicles missing anti-misfueling fuel-filler devices. Repair is free at any franchised Rolls-Royce dealer.
Rolls-Royce is recalling 27 2013 Phantom vehicles because the fuel filler necks lack anti-misfueling devices, which prevent incorrect fueling and discharge static electricity. Without that device, static electricity increases the risk of fire; the dealer repair will be free once Rolls-Royce makes it available.

What's wrong?
The fuel filler neck on the 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom is the metal opening and tube that connects the fuel door area to the fuel tank. Inside that neck, an anti-misfueling device is supposed to help keep the wrong fuel nozzle from being used. The same device also gives static electricity a controlled path away from the filler area during refueling.
On affected Phantoms, that device is missing from the fuel filler neck. With the device absent, the filler neck loses the built-in feature meant to block misfueling and discharge static electricity. The recall is about the missing part in the filler neck, not wear from normal driving.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner would not see a dashboard light or hear a noise that confirms the anti-misfueling device is missing.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific sedan.
What's the safety risk?
Without the anti-misfueling device, static electricity during fueling raises the risk of fire. If your VIN is included, use the correct fuel and schedule the fuel filler neck inspection soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Rolls-Royce dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Rolls-Royce dealer to ask whether the free fuel-tank inspection and filler-neck replacement is open for your VIN.
- Bring the recall notice if Rolls-Royce mailed one. If not, reference recall number 13V047 when you call.
- Avoid fueling mistakes until the dealer confirms the anti-misfueling device is installed and the filler neck is correct.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Rolls-Royce technician inspects the gas tank and checks whether the fuel filler necks are missing the anti-misfueling devices. Any affected fuel filler neck is replaced at no charge under the recall. The repair description does not list a shop time, so the service desk will confirm timing for the visit. The final dealer repair is free once available.
