Plain-English summary
Bentley Motors, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2011 Continental GT, GTC, and Flying Spur vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured between July 2006 and June 2010 and are equipped with carbon ceramic brake discs. The recall involves 469 affected units.
The defect involves stainless steel screws that secure the brake rotors. These screws may fail after being exposed to salty conditions. If the screws fail, the vehicle's braking ability may be reduced, which increases the risk of a crash.
Bentley will notify owners, and dealers will replace the screws free of charge. The safety recall began on October 22, 2013. Owners may contact Bentley at 1-800-777-6923 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
