Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2021762 · manufacturer campaign RE21/43 (RC26)

15 December 2021

Transport Canada lists: Bentayga 2021–2022 · Continental GT 2021–2022 · Flying Spur 2021–2022

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the owner's manual doesn't properly describe how the passenger-front airbag works when the "Passenger Airbag On" light is on. This could cause you to misunderstand how the passenger airbag works.

Why it matters

Incorrect information about how the airbag system works could cause confusion, and create an increased risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Bentley will send each owner a sticker to update the owner's manual with the correct description for how the passenger airbag works. They will also provide you with instructions for where to put it. If you would like help installing the label, a Bentley dealer will install it for you.

Transport Canada recall 2021445 · manufacturer campaign RE21/26 (RC08)

21 July 2021

Transport Canada lists: Continental GT 2020–2021

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front seats may continue to automatically move downwards and rearwards after a person enters the rear seat. If this happens, a rear occupant's legs could be trapped.

Why it matters

A front seat that continues to move rearward could cause an injury for a rear passenger.

What the dealer will do

Bentley will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the software for the front seats.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
