Plain-English summary

Bentley Motors, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 Continental Supersports vehicles. The recall involves a defect in the Power Assisted Steering (PAS) system where the cooler pipe may be the incorrect size. This sizing issue allows the cooler hose to detach, resulting in a leak of power steering fluid.

A power steering fluid leak may cause a loss of vehicle control or create a hazard to following traffic, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the leaked fluid in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Bentley will notify owners, and dealers will replace the PAS cooler pipe free of charge. The recall began on January 7, 2020. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
