ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2020 Continental GT and Continental GTC vehicles. Liquid may enter the external coolant pump for the climate control system and cause an electrical short circuit.
- What it can cause
- An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the water pump with an improved water pump (from supplier Pierburg) that is fitted with a pressure compensation seal, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 27, 2023. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE23/02 (RC67).
- 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 650 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 53% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Bentley vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 2 times before this, most recently in October 2015 as 15V688000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 23V152000 (air bags), 22V177000 (seat belts), 21V550000 (seats), 20V309000 (visibility).
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 January 27, 2023 as campaign 23V034000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
