STRUCTURE:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Flying Spur vehicles. The rear entertainment screen retention bracket, located in the rear of the front seats, may have been incorrectly installed.
- What it can cause
- An incorrectly installed retention bracket can result in the entertainment screen becoming a projectile during a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the retention brackets in both front seats, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 6, 2023. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE23/06 (RC71).
- 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 1,659 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 64% 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 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Bentley vehicles have been recalled over the structure once before this, most recently in September 2010 as 10V411000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V177000 (seat belts), 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 May 3, 2023 as campaign 23V314000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
