💥 Crash risk🩹 Injury riskNHTSA 21V975📅 Dec 16, 2021

2021–2022 Bentley Bentayga & 2021–2022 Bentley Continental GT + 1 more recall: airbag

⚠️ What's wrong

Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Bentayga, Continental GT, Flying Spur, and Continental GT Convertible vehicles. The owner's manual incorrectly states that the air bag system will not deploy when the "Passenger Airbag On" symbol is illuminated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

💥 The risk

The incorrect information may change how occupants position themselves in relation to the air bags, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Bentley will mail new labels to owners. Owners may apply the label themselves or have a dealer apply the label, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 10, 2022. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE21/43 (RC26).

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
