Bentley seat belt assembly defect may impair child restraint function

Bentley Motors is recalling certain 2020-2022 Continental GT and Flying Spur vehicles due to incorrectly installed front seat belt assemblies that may lack an automatic locking retractor, potentially failing to secure child restraints properly in a crash.

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: Missing automatic locking retractor on passenger seat belt may impair child restraint security in a crash; no reported injuries or illnesses, making this a theoretical risk-of-harm situation affecting occupant crash protection.

Plain-English summary

Bentley Motors, Inc. is recalling certain 2020-2022 Continental GT Convertible and Continental GT models, as well as 2021-2022 Flying Spur vehicles. The front seat belt assemblies in these vehicles may have been incorrectly installed, resulting in the front passenger seat belt missing its automatic locking retractor (ALR).

These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208, which requires occupant crash protection. A missing ALR on a passenger seat belt may not properly secure a child restraint, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

Bentley dealers will inspect and replace any affected seat belt assemblies at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 22, 2022. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153). This recall is designated RE22/08 (RC34).
