SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2021 Bentayga vehicles. The lock nut on the trailing arm of the rear axle may break due to stress corrosion.
- What it can cause
- A broken lock nut may misalign the rear axle, causing a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Bentley will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lock nuts, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed on June 16, 2021. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE21/17 (RB98).
- 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 206 vehicles this is a small campaign: 60% 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, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Bentley vehicles have been recalled over the suspension once before this, most recently in November 2005 as 05V546000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V592000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V743000 (back over prevention), 22V257000 (seats), 21V975000 (equipment).
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 April 21, 2021 as campaign 21V276000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
