VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2020 Continental GT vehicles equipped with a factory-installed sunroof. The sunroof may not be properly bonded to the vehicle body, possibly resulting in wind noise, water leaks, and in some cases, the complete separation of the sunroof from the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- If the sunroof panel separates from the vehicle while it is being driven, it may increase the risk of an injury or crash.
- What the dealer does
- Bentley will notify owners, and dealers will remove the old sunroof glass and fit a new sunroof glass assembly to the vehicle using the approved bonding products and procedure, free of charge. The recall began June 22, 2020. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE 20/15 (RB57).
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 3 vehicles this is a small campaign: 97% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Bentley vehicles have been recalled over the visibility once before this, most recently in July 2016 as 16V539000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V034000 (electrical system), 22V177000 (seat belts), 21V550000 (seats).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Bentley Motors, Inc. with NHTSA on May 27, 2020 as campaign 20V309000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
