Transport Canada recall 2023120 · manufacturer campaign RE23/03 (RC68)

8 March 2023

Transport Canada lists: Continental 2020–2021

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the rivets that attach the airbag deflector brackets to the front seat frames may have sharp edges. As a result, the side airbags could be damaged during deployment, and may not inflate properly in a crash.

Why it matters

An airbag that doesn't inflate properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Bentley will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the front seats. Any sharp edges found on the airbag deflector bracket rivets will be removed.

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

15 December 2021

Transport Canada lists: Bentayga 2021–2022 · Continental 2021–2022 · Flying 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 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.
