SEATS
- The defect
- Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Bentayga vehicles. The second row seats may be installed incorrectly, without being locked on all seat rails.
- What it can cause
- An unlocked seat rail could move in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will check and reset the 2nd row seat rail positions to ensure proper engagement of the seat rails, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 16, 2022. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RC22/10 (RC36).
- 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 1,923 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 65% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, 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 seats 4 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V550000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V592000 (fuel system, gasoline), 23V386000 (seats), 22V743000 (back over prevention), 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 14, 2022 as campaign 22V257000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
