SEAT BELTS
- The defect
- Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2021 Bentayga vehicles. The front passenger seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicles Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the front passenger seat belt assemblies, and if necessary, replace the seat belts free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 30, 2021. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE21/31 (RC13).
- 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.nhtsa.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 33 vehicles this is a small campaign: 82% 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 seat belts 3 times before this, most recently in March 2020 as 20V154000. 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 August 4, 2021 as campaign 21V605000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
