What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat belt anchorage) that fails to meet federal safety standards and explicitly increases the risk of injury in a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Bentley Motors, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2020 Bentayga vehicles equipped with third-row seats. The recall addresses a defect where the third-row upper seat belt attachment may not stay connected to the vehicle during a crash. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

If the seat belt is not properly secured in the event of a crash, the occupant will not be properly restrained, which increases their risk of injury. The recall began on May 20, 2020.

Bentley will notify owners, and dealers will replace the upper seat belt attachment bolt free of charge. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE20/06. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
