A small number of Rolls-Royce Ghost models may not have the correct torque applied to the Lambda sensors, also known as Control or Monitor sensors. To maintain our high levels of quality and customer satisfaction, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has decided to carry out a torque check to the front and rear Lambda sensors fitted on both engine banks. This procedure must be followed on the chassis numbers listed within ISPA or S-Gate.
