One Bentley has enough on file to be worth a page here, the 2017 Bentayga, whose owners have filed 9 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the air bags than any other system: 3 of them.
NHTSA holds 56 recall campaigns naming Bentley vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here.
What goes wrong on a Bentley
The systems named most often across every Bentley complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
