- The defect
- Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2026 Continental GT and Continental GTC vehicles. The front axles may have been assembled with an incorrect shorter driveshaft, which can cause the hub securing nut to loosen over time.
- What it can cause
- A loose hub securing nut can cause vibration and a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the front axle driveshaft as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 8, 2026. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE26/14. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning June 8, 2026.
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 8 vehicles this is a small campaign: 93% 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, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Bentley vehicles have been recalled over the power train once before this, most recently in August 1995 as 95V159000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 25V648000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 21, 2026 as campaign 26V330000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
