What's wrong?
The rear seat belt fixing bolts in the 2020-2026 Rolls-Royce Cullinan fasten the rear belt retractors and related rear seat hardware to the vehicle body. Those bolts hold the belt system and rear backrest in position when the vehicle is moving, braking, or carrying cargo behind the second row.
On the 102 affected vehicles, one fixing bolt on the left or right rear seat belt, or on a rear bench backrest locking bracket, was not tightened to specification. A loose bolt can let nearby parts move. That movement can damage the rear seat belt webbing or let the rear backrest shift under pressure from items in the luggage compartment.
A rattling noise near the rear C-pillar, the rear roof support area beside the seat, led Rolls-Royce to find the loose bolt during quality checks. Owners are being told not to use the rear seating area or carry goods in the rear luggage compartment until the vehicle is inspected and repaired when needed.
Who's affected?
Across 2020-2026 Cullinan SUVs, the listed components cover rear seat recliner hardware, rear seat belt webbing, and seat belt critical fasteners.

What's the safety risk?
A damaged seat belt or unsecured seat back can leave a rear-seat occupant without adequate restraint during a crash, increasing injury risk. Until the inspection and any needed repair are complete, leave the rear seats and rear luggage compartment unused. Repair is free at any franchised Rolls-Royce dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2026 Rolls-Royce Cullinan is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Rolls-Royce dealer to schedule the free fixing-bolt and rear seat belt inspection that addresses loose rear-seat fasteners and damaged belt webbing.
- Do not use the rear seats or luggage compartment until the dealer repair is complete.
- Bring the recall notice if Rolls-Royce has mailed one. Reference recall number 26V143 when you call.
- Call Rolls-Royce customer service at 1-833-765-5727 with questions about scheduling or owner notices.
What happens at the repair
Until the recall work is complete, do not use the rear seats or luggage compartment. At the dealer, a Rolls-Royce technician inspects the fixing bolts, tightens or replaces them as needed, then inspects the left and right rear seat belts and replaces any seat belt that needs replacement. Parts and labor are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs for this condition are handled through the Rolls-Royce New Vehicle Limited Warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program.

What should I do if my 2020-2026 Rolls-Royce Cullinan is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Cullinan is included in recall 26V143. If it is, avoid using the rear seats or luggage compartment until the dealer completes the repair. Contact a franchised Rolls-Royce dealer and reference recall 26V143 when you schedule service.
Is the recall repair free?
