What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a structural defect (loose joints) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Bentley Motors, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2017 Bentayga vehicles manufactured between March 1, 2016, and September 30, 2016. The recall involves 378 vehicles.
