SEATS
- The defect
- Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Bentayga 5-seat vehicles. The second-row seats may be installed incorrectly and not locked on all seat rails.
- What it can cause
- An unlocked seat rail can move in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
- What the dealer does
- Bentley 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 July 11, 2023. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 22V-257.
- 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 1,008 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, 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 5 times before this, most recently in April 2022 as 22V257000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 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 May 31, 2023 as campaign 23V386000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
