FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling one 2020 Flying Spur vehicle. The fuel tank may not have been welded properly during manufacturing, which could result in a fuel leak.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of fire.
- What the dealer does
- Bentley will notify the owner, and a dealer will replace the fuel tank, free of charge. The recall began March 18, 2021. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE21/07 (RB88).
- 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 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% 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, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Bentley vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 7 times before this, most recently in June 2020 as 20V321000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V452000 (back over prevention).
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 February 23, 2021 as campaign 21V104000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
