Bentley Motors, Inc.: 2020-2021 Continental GTC Recalled for Tearing Seat Air Bags

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bentley Motors is recalling approximately 1,610 of its 2020-2021 Continental GTC luxury vehicles because a sharp edge on the seat's air bag deflector bracket can cause the side air bag to tear when it inflates. This defect means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for side impact and occupant crash protection. Bentley dealers will inspect the front seats and remove any sharp edges on the bracket rivets free of charge.

Risk

If an air bag tears during a crash, it will not inflate properly or provide the intended cushioning. This failure to deploy correctly significantly increases the risk of injury to occupants during a side-impact collision.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle records to confirm if you own a 2020-2021 Bentley Continental GTC.
  2. Contact an authorized Bentley dealer to schedule a free inspection of your front seats.
  3. If the dealer finds a sharp edge on the air bag deflector bracket rivet during the inspection, they will remove it at no cost to you.
  4. If you have further questions, contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-77-6923 and reference recall number RE23/03(RC68).
  5. You may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
