Safety Risk: A seat that moves in a crash could create an increased risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Bentley will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and ensure that the second-row seats are installed correctly. To reduce the safety risk, Bentley recommends that you should not use the second-row seats until the recall inspection has been completed.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the owner's manual doesn't properly describe how the passenger-front airbag works when the "Passenger Airbag On" light is on. This could cause you to misunderstand how the passenger airbag works. Safety Risk: Incorrect information about how the airbag system works could cause confusion, and create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Bentley will send each owner a sticker to update the owner's manual with the correct description for how the passenger airbag works. They will also provide you with instructions for where to put it. If you would like help installing the label, a Bentley dealer will install it for you.
Summary
Issue: On a small number of vehicles, a software problem in the chassis control module could cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to not work correctly in certain driving situations. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a V8 engine. Safety Risk: A stability control system that does not work properly could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Bentley will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the chassis control module.
